The thing is that the concept of reference counting *in general* is a good fit for your problem. The difficulty is that leveraging the particular ref counting done by retain/release, while tempting, is not such a good fit. Ergo, you have to implement something equivalent alongside it. There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
