A quick memory (release) question


  • Subject: A quick memory (release) question
  • From: Paul Harvey <email@hidden>

Two quick examples:

1 NSMutableAttributedString *ns = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString: chapterText];

2  NSString *lookFor = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"\n%d",i];

The rule for memory management says that if you obtain an object through alloc, you have retained it and it must be manually released at a later point.

Yet methods like initWithFormat create an autoreleased object don't they?

Trying to be a Good Programmerâ„¢ I was releasing the objects myself but that caused problems with my app, yet the problem has gone now i've removed these lines.
