Hi Bob,
you're right, it's completely sufficient to release track object. However, setting it to nil helps tracking possible bugs in your code, because you will immediately see in the debugger that you are sending messages to nil object.

Found the following code in an example (track is a pointer to a Track object)

- (void)dealloc
{
    [track release], track = nil;
    [super dealloc];
}


What is the point of having track = nil? Wouldn't the following code be enough?


- (void)dealloc

{

    [track release];

    [super dealloc];

}
