I am a long way into a rather complicated CoreData based app right now
and I have managed to figure out most of it, including some bodges to
handle ordered lists, but one thing is still not totally clear to me.
Let's say on a previous save you have written out a managedObject to
the persistent store.
You re-launch the app, and the managedObject is fetched as part of your
document.
You edit your document, and delete whatever it is that requires the
managedObject. The managed object is released and its retain count
falls to 0.
What happens now? I know that the managedObjectContext will retain
certain objects with pending changes, so is that what happens here? Is
it actually only de-allocated when the MOC saves the next time?
More importantly, what happens to the copy in the persistent store?
When the MOC saves, is the persistent store overwritten, and the object
effectively deleted from the saved file, or does it hang around and
have to be deleted manually using the -deleteObject method?
