But you shouldn't be using accessors in -init or -dealloc anyway. It
makes subclassing fragile. Unless, of course, you make the accessor's
behavior an explicit part of your subclassing contract so both sides
can handle being partially initialized or deallocated. But on the
whole it's just easier not to use accessors in -init and -dealloc.
If you synthesize your ivars, you can get at the ivar using the self-> syntax.
@interface MyClass
@property(retain) id myFoo;
- (id)initWithFoo:(id)aFoo;
@end
@implementation MyClass
@synthesize myFoo;
- (id)initWithFoo:(id)aFoo {
if (!(self = [super init]))
return nil;
self->myFoo = [aFoo retain];
return self;
}
- (void)dealloc {
[self->myFoo release];
[super dealloc];
}
