Hi everyone. I still have some doubts of should I release or not? and the most important reaons why should I or why shouldn't I do it. Any answer would be very appreciated.
Consider this: NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; NSArray *rawArray = [defaults objectForKey:@"lastArray"]; NSMutableArray *tempArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; for(int i= 0; i< [rawArray count]; i++){ NSDictionary *dic = [rawArray objectAtIndex:i]; Mail *mail = [[Mail alloc] initWithDictionary:dic]; [tempArray addObject:mail]; [mail release]; } theArray = tempArray; Here theArray is a property: @property (nonatomic, retain) NSArray *theArray; So my doubts are: Since is initialized by a class method , "defaults" must not be released -> correct? rawArray should be released? ([rawArray release] ?) I think the answer is no but why? dic should be released? ([dic release]?) I don't know... tempArray should be released? I think the answer is: it depends. Since theArray is retain I could do self.theArray = tempArray; [tempArray release]; or theArray = tempArray; so, what is the difference between using self and assigning tempArray to theArray directly? (specifically in this case what is the difference (in terms of retain count)?) And what would happen with the retaincount of another object that was theArray before tempArray assignation? (in case of doing theArray = tempArray) Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
