AppController dealloc is never called. Why?
Hi, All, Perhaps my question is stupid, but this is my first Cocoa project, so I'll try to ask. I've noticed that my main window controller (usually named AppController) is never freed. I don't know where it is allocated, but suppose it happens somewhere within NSApplication. All other windows, used in the program, are freed OK, as I'm doing it explicitly, as well as their initialization. On the other hand, I'm getting BAD_ACCESS exception, if I insert [self release] within applicationWillTerminate delegate method of my AppController. So, what is the correct way to free AppController?

So, what is the correct way to free AppController? Don't worry about it. When the task exits, the memory it used is reclaimed by the OS. If your application needs to do something else besides free memory when it terminates, then you must do that in -applicationWillTerminate: and not the -dealloc method of the application controller.
