See the subject? +alloc. It does not say anything about +allocWithZone:.

See this code?

@interface MyTest : NSObject
@end

@implementation MyTest
+ (id)alloc
{
 NSLog(@"allocating");
 return [super alloc];
}
@end

You would have to override +allocWithZone: to have any kind of reliable behavior. +alloc is a cover for +allocWithZone: with a NULL zone. Not that you would know that from the documentation, unfortunately.


Without assuming anything, you would have to override both allocator methods; +alloc and +allocWithZone:.
