Ok, so my point with all this is that the documentation should not say that all class factory methods always return autoreleased objects because that is an implementation detail that (a) is not required by the memory management rules, (b) is something that the programmer should not care about, and (c) is not even true in the case of some methods, including [NSString string]

So I'll file a bug.


You will file a bug ? I really do not see the bug here...

And for the very last time in this discussion... Where do you people get the fact that [NSString string] doesn't call autorelease ?
It might call it, and just have its retaincount fixed to a certain number...

This is a bogus question. You're thinking incorrectly. There's a
reason the memory management rules don't explicitly call for things to
be autoreleased. Following good OO principles, you shouldn't care how
things are memory managed within the framework; just make sure you're
doing the right thing and following the rules, and everyone's a
winner.
