why not just: #define SAFE_SET(old,new) [old release]; old = [new retain];
or am i just being stupid?

So I had this bug the other day that I thought would make an interesting
riddle.

The code looked like this:

#define SAFE_SET(old, new) [new retain]; [old release]; old = new;

Others have already pointed out the leak and the crash, but if you still want to use a macro, I would suggest redefining it as:

#define SAFE_SET(old,new) do { id _temp=[(new) retain]; [old release]; old=_temp; } while(0)
