I've got an application that was working fine until today, and now
one of the temporary windows I create is being retained. A lot.
Sample log, after I subclassed the retain and release methods to do logging:
2006-07-30 15:28:54.349 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 1
2006-07-30 15:28:54.359 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 2

2006-07-30 15:28:54.497 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 4
2006-07-30 15:28:54.506 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 3
2006-07-30 15:28:54.515 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 4
2006-07-30 15:28:54.523 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow retained: 3
2006-07-30 15:28:54.524 Flix[2674] DashboardWindow released: 4
And so on. I'm creating the window in code like so:
floatingWindow = [[[DashboardWindow alloc] init] retain];
And later, releasing it normally:
[floatingWindow release];
So, as far as I can tell - something else is sending retain
messages to my window.
Look like that something is your very own code...
floatingWindow = [[[DashboardWindow alloc] init] retain];
Taking that apart...
[[DashboardWindow alloc] init]
...will return you an object that is retained (owned) by you and hence
you must send it a release message when you are done with it. Then you
proceed to send it a retain message which adds one more retain to it
and hence you must send another release to balance that retain.
