Hey Folks,
I am working on a project where I have to load up a bunch of
information categorized by dates. The dates are in a natural language
format "mm/dd/yyyy" and need to be turned into NSDate objects so I can
work with them.
The number of items that are being loaded is rather large. Easily Half
a million plus.
When I run the program after about 100,000
NSDate * thisDate = [NSDate dateWithNaturalLanguageString:theDate];
the app goes boom and I get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error.
I thought this might have been from bad memory management (it still
might be, as I am *very* new to cocoa development) so I created a
simple test app with a button that run this function.
@implementation test
- (IBAction)run:(id)sender
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<500000; i++)
{
NSDate * thisDate = [NSDate
dateWithNaturalLanguageString:@"12/14/2004"];
NSLog(@"%d", i);
}
}
@end
After running through about 100,000 of these (give or take) I get the
exact same error.
My questions are:
Given the error is an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error am I doing something wrong
memory management wise?
If not, any idea what is causing this?
And more to the point... any ideas on how I can fix this? Or how I can
work around it?
Thanks Much,
Kane
