Apple's Cocoa Memory Management Programming guide shows this
pattern for init:
- (id)init {
if ((self = [super init])) {// superclass may return nil
// your initialization code goes here
}
return self;
}
Newb question: In the case of
id myObject = [[MyObject alloc]init];
what happens to the allocated memory if the [super init] fails and
how do I handle it since I dont have a self to release?
If [super init] fails it should have done [self release] before
returning nil.
