Given the following declaration for a non-garbage-collected application:
@property (readonly, retain) NSString *someString;
What does the "retain" mean in this case and is it even legal ? There won't be a synthesized -(void)setSomeString:(NSString *)aString method because the property is readonly. Does this cause the synthesis of an accesor like the following?
- (NSString *)someString
{
return [[someString retain] autorelease];
}
or does it synthesize
- (NSString *)someString
{
return someString;
}
