I meant "object" in the more general sense of a block of allocated memory whose lifetime is managed by a memory model. That includes (at least): 1. Obj-C objects. 2. CF…Ref objects. 3. A few special cases such as UTF8String, where the block is (apparently) autoreleased to keep it from deallocating instantly. (In the GC case, these "objects" are blocks managed by the collector.) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
