Hey August -

NIB loading leaves a retain of +1 on all top level NIB objects. That's what is keeping your object alive without GC. With GC, that retain is a no-op. In order to keep your object alive you'll need to do something like reference it from another live object, reference it from a global, or CFRetain/CFRelease it.

Good Luck -

Hello!

I'm trying to wrap my head around Garbage Collection, but I'm baffled by the behavior of some of my objects. For example, I am trying to publish a Bon Jour service. I have an object that does this, BJController. It is instantiated within the Nib and the service is published during awakeFromNib

In my .h file, I have:

@property (retain) NSNetService *service;

and in the .m file:

@synthesize service;


When I publish the service I use:


self.service = [[NSNetService alloc] initWithDomain:@"" type:@"_BJTest._tcp" name:@"Just a Test" port:5260];


[self.service setDelegate:self];
[self.service publish];


Now, as long as I keep Garbage Collection turned off, this works fine. When I turn it on, however, the service object seems to evaporate before the service is published, and my NSNetService delegate methods never get called at all.


I've been through the GC docs, and I'm assuming it's got something to do with a weak reference somewhere. But I can't seem to figure out where that would be.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

August
