… to see when the owning object's variable's compile time scope ends. Other retain/release optimizations aside, that would be the point where its retain count is decremented, and that might in turn trigger deallocation. But, yes, basically that's how I understand the documentation. It seems *way* too convenient to be true. ;) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
