Re: Convience Methods and Collections



Hi,

What is rootNode?
Or, more importantly, does it retain the object you pass it in setObject?


The point:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:...] autoreleases the array it creates so if you don't retain it and neither does rootNode, well, its gonna disappear...

Hello All,

I apologize in advance for such a newbie question.
Why do objects created with convenience methods get auto-released when I add them to a collection?


This simple example from the init of an NSOutlineView datasource:

[rootNode setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:devices,folders,playlists,nil] forKey:@"children"];

 The array will be released before the first time I call

[rootNode objectForKey:@"children"]

If I use [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:devices,folders,playlists,nil] then it works fine.

Thanks,
