- (void)setName:(NSString *)newNamemet {
[newName retain];
[_name release];
_name = newName;
}
This is fine.
Thread safe ?
No, obviously not. It would need a lock around it, if you were to do
it that way. The question then becomes: what's faster, a lock or an
autorelease? In most situations an autorelease, I would think, since
it would be a once-off, versus potentially having to acquire the lock
many times. Unless of course your value changes far more frequently
than you access it, in which case I suppose a lock might be faster.
