Re: Quick and basic retain/release/pointers question

SomeCusomView *aView = [[SomeCustomView alloc]
initWithFrame:aRect];
[anotherView addSubview:aView];
[aView release];

//...

[aView doThisOrThat];

Your assumptions are correct. Calling [anObject release] the object only actually releases when the retain count is 0. It is not moved in memory.
The fact that the runtime complains about a selector not recognized indicates that the object still 'lives' (otherwise you'd probably get a SIGBUS or something).
For debugging purposes, use NSLog(@"%d", [anObject retainCount]); to find out the current retain count of your object.
Clever use of autorelease and nested autorelease pools can save you some headache. Read Apple's documentation.
