Re: Does cocoa just leak?

I was trying to do a mem test on my app today. First trying to get a base reading, before anything else occurred. So I have a window with a pulsing button on it connected to some action. Thats all I have on it. I launch the app, then go into top to see the mem usage. Ok. Then I switch back to my app and notice the mem usage goes up. Switch back to the terminal, mem usage goes back again. Try switching in and out again, nothing happens. I think, "Oh well, must be a fluke" So I switch in and out about 15 more times. After about every dozen or so switches mem usage goes up a few k. And this is with an App that wasn't doing anything.

To test my class I was doing:

for (i=0;i<5000;i++)
[instance URL];

This causes mem usage to go up about 500k. Thats not too bad, i guess. I set the URL thats returned to autorelease inside the class. However, doing:

for (i=0;i<5000;i++)
[[instance URL] path];

Reimplement the above like this

for(i=0;i<5000;i++){
NSAutoreleasePool *pool;

pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

[instance ULR];

/* Do lots of other interesting stuff */

[pool release];
}

Everything should be okay now.
