Inconsistent Memory Management Rules
Inconsistent Memory Management Rules

I have an example that contradicts the rules I have read for Cocoa memory
management.
One rule as I understand it is "If you -alloc, then you -release (or
-autorelease)"
I have code that crashes when using this rule as follows:
NSString * string = [[NSString alloc]init];
string = [string stringByAppendingString:@"steve jobs"];
... More of the same
[anIBOutlet setStringValue:string];
[string release]; // always crashes
Can someone explain this inconsistency?
