This does precisely the same thing as your original, but it may help
illustrate that you're retaining the iVar to which the incoming
parameter is assigned, not the parameter itself:
-(void)setClientCode:(NSString *) aString {
[clientCode release];
clientCode = aString;
[clientCode retain];
}
I like that sequence better, but what if aString and clientCode are
the same object, as Tony pointed out? Would it work to do it this
way (use autorelease instead):
-(void)setClientCode:(NSString *) aString {
[clientCode autorelease];
clientCode = aString;
[clientCode retain];
}
That does not guarantee another release if clientCode is already in
the autorelease pool, but could it be?
