I am having some trouble in an app with an object and its retain
counts, so I added methods to intercept -retain and -release on my
affected object so I could set breakpoints to observe the value. But
doing so causes some really odd behavior, such as the object
receiving extra retain events (such as when it is _removed_ from an
array). Why would my intercepting these, but nonetheless propagating
them up the class hierarchy, cause problems?
Instead of doing what you're trying, I'd recommend using Instruments
in object-alloc mode to track retains and releases of objects. That
should be a lot less accident-prone.
