How to adjust refCount?


  • Subject: How to adjust refCount?

I am following (and understanding) the Apple documentation on implementing -copyWithZone and -mutableCopyWIthZone.

My code needs to adjust refCount to 1 since the copy of the object made by the superclass's -copyWithZone was a shallow copy. But how do I do that? There seems to be no instance variable or method I can use called refCount that I can assign 1 to. Do I need to #import anything extra?

I see that NSObject has retainCount, but the Apple docs (Memory management -> Implementing Object Copy -> Figure [1 Initialization of the reference count during a copy] and nearby text) explicitly refer to refCount. Is this a documentation error?
