Intuition. The only way to know is to understand what's going on which makes it think it's a leak. But you can pretty much ignore any reported "leaks" which aren't from your own code. There may be a leak in the frameworks, but it's so rare it wouldn't really be worth your time trying to understand every potential one. You'll get used to seeing the same kind of "leak" over and over and learn to ignore it. -- Seth Willits _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
