Thanks to all who replied. I was concerned whether the object might somehow get re-instantiated from the nib without dealloc being called first. If I understand memory management correctly, that would produce a leak.

I'm assuming that the object wouldn't be re-instantiated without its previous instantiation being released. But I'd sleep better having an expert opinion.

I've got a UIView object that uses an NSDictionary. The UIView is instantiated from a nib, so I initialise the dictionary in awakeFromNib, since the initWithFrame: method is never called. Is it appropriate to release this dictionary in the UIView dealloc method?
