newbie question

hi!

i'm new to this list (and new to cocoa and objective-c, too) and i hope not to bother you with this beginner-stuff...

as it seems, this is about a general lack of understanding:

in my main.m file, the only thing i do is instantiating an object of the class NSMutableDictionary with:

NSMutableDictionary * dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:1];

and i get a runtime error:

_NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x306800 of class NSCFDictionary autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking


if i do:

NSMutableDictionary * dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:1];
[dict writeToFile: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"/Users/max/Desktop/ test.plist"] atomically:YES];


i get a bunch of such runtime errors.

if i create a NSAutoreleasePool and add the dictionary to the pool, it works fine:

NSAutoreleasePool *pool =[[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init ];
NSMutableDictionary * dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:1];
[pool addObject:dict];
[dict retain];


do i have to create a NSAutoreleasePool, adding every single object i create to the pool myself?

apple's "The Objective-C Programming Language" says that instances created with a class method
such as dictionaryWithCapacity: are deallocated automatically.
so why do i get this runtime error then?


and what about a classes instance variables?
say, i have a class a, and in its init method i want to create such a NSMutableDictionary.
if i have to add it to a NSAutoreleasePool, which pool do i add it to?


does this make any sense?

any help would be really great.

thank you!

- confused -

max
