I have a Cocoa console application that has code that I was sure
would leak - [NSNumber alloc] with no corresponding release. But
when I run those tools I detect no leak.
If you're just calling literally "[NSNumber alloc]", you're probably
just getting a shared placeholder object that's waiting for the -init
call to create a new instance of the appropriate class. That's part of
the weirdness of class-clusters. But in general it never makes sense
to call +alloc without -init.
Even if you initialize the NSNumber, I know that some common values
(small integers) are cached for performance reasons, so instead of
allocating a new one it might just give you the shared one.
Try something like "[[NSMutableArray alloc] init]", or even good ol'
"malloc(1000)".
