I have a custom class (MyCustomClass) and within another class I need to have MyCustomClass be a property whereby I make a copy (vs retaining). MyCustomClass is quite complex and so I was considering using:
-(id)copyWithZone:(NSZone *)zone { MyCustomClass* copy = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:[NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:self]]; return (copy); } This will of course incur a performance hit for the archiving but in my case it is not very significant. However, naming conventions expect copy to not be autoreleased so should the above really be: return ([copy retain]); ? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
