Hey, I am working on a networking system that uses distributed objects. This is a large collaboration between students, and I thought garbage collection would be perfect for new Cocoa programmers, so we wouldn't have to deal with memory management quite yet. The network will be a mix of Intel and PPC, so there is another complication too.
Everything seems to work on Intel, it is on PPC that we have the problems. When we first make the connection to the server, we can message the remote object just fine. It is when we try to message the distant object at later times that we get errors. This sounds enough like a memory management problem. Sure enough, when turn off garbage collection, and add in the proper retain calls, it seems to function fine. Does distributed objects work with garbage collection (on PPC)? Here are some of the errors I am getting. Console output: 2008-12-13 11:42:02.204 StationTerminal[715:10b] *** -[NSAutoreleasePool objectForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x10610c0 2008-12-13 11:42:02.222 StationTerminal[715:10b] Exception name: NSInvalidArgumentException Reason: *** -[NSAutoreleasePool objectForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x10610c0 2008-12-13 11:42:02.225 StationTerminal[715:10b] *** -[NSLock lock]: deadlock (<NSLock: 0x1061040> '(null)') 2008-12-13 11:42:02.227 StationTerminal[715:10b] *** Break on _NSLockError() to debug. Note here, that NSAutoreleasePool is getting objectForKey:, as if it were a dictionary. It is not always NSAutoreleasePool getting the message, we have also got NSCFDataType and some internal color-related class receiving this message, among others. Sound enough like a memory mangement issue? Here is the call stack when that error is thrown. (the last call that is in my program is #18, resetSubscriptions) #0 0xffff8260 in ??

I don't know if we can do without garbage collection.
