Yes, just return nil. Like other local variables, 'self' will be released automatically (if non-nil) at exit from its scope, which is the entire method in this case. Because this is an 'init'-family method, the return value is retained (if non-nil) on execution of the 'return' statement. If you put those 2 behaviors together, you'll see that your ARC code has the same memory management effect as your non-ARC code, no matter which 'return' statement is executed. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
