Re: Manual KVO quirks with NSDocument and NSWindowController

The second is that when I close the window (and thus the document) I get an error:

2005-05-23 22:33:40.770 ProgramName[3584] An instance 0x118dc50 of class MyDocument is being deallocated while key value observers are still registered with it. Break on _NSKVODeallocateLog to start debugging.

According to the debugger, "close" is called for DeviceConfigDoc but "dealloc" is not. I did have code in MyWindowController to stop observing when the window controller's dealloc was called, but it doesn't seem to be called. I searched for a NSWindowController documentWillClose message, but there doesn't seem to be one. Nor can I find a "windowDidClose" notification - the closest I found was "close", and that doesn't seem to be called either when I click the close box.


My guess would be to find the culprit causing dealloc not to be called... that's your main problem.

I'm not convinced.

To test, I trapped the 'close' call my document controller to manually send a myDocWillClose: message to all window controllers. Not surprisingly, there are no window controllers in this list. However, the child WC has not yet been deallocated.

Obviously, either some third party is holding a retain on the child or the NSDocument code that deals with closing calls autorelease rather than release. For now, I'd rather work around the problem completely and hook either the "disconnect from document" or "my window closed" event in the NSWindowController, thus allowing me to cleanly de-register KVO.

How do I hook this event?
