FYI, Ken's right. The IOUSB stuff is odd-looking. You have instance vars of
type IOxxx**, and then pass the addresses of those into routines that take
IOxxx*** and fill in your IOxxx** and then you do (*iovar)->Function
throughout the code.
Still though, Shawn's basic point is right: Ken is confused about memory
management *somewhere* in his code.
well... i'm not sure i'd use the word confused, as i do understand
memory management, both in general and in cocoa. but i do have a bug
somewhere that causes crashes sometimes when i quit by app and
attempt to release IOKit/USB "resources". unfortunately, the bug
hasn't shown up when i've run with guard malloc on, and the times
that i've hit the malloc_error_break breakpoint, the stack trace
hasn't helped, and i always run my development versions with zombies,
etc. enabled.
for now, i'm just waiting until the crashes start again so that i can
again try to find it.
