Greg,

you are right of course, but for one small glitch:

On 10.4.2006, at 16:21, Greg Herlihy wrote:

        NSData * data = [fh availableData];
        len = [data length];
        printf("data len: %d offset: %lld\n", len, [fh offsetInFile]);
        // release the data before reading more
        // or the consequences will be quite unpleasant
        [data release];

availableData happens to return an autorelease object (just like more or less anything but for alloc/init, new, and mutable/copy). Thus, the proper pattern is (something like)


    for (;;) {
	NSAutoreleasePool *pool=[[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
        NSData *data=[fh availableData];
        if (![data length]) break;
	...
        [pool release];
    }

Depending on the task it might be better to release the pool not each time, but every N times, yadda yadda yadda :)
