Hello,
I'm experiencing some difficulties with KVO and auto dependent
keys. Am I doing something wrong, or should I fill a bug report ?
Here is a test case.
MyObject is a class with a single property: name.
MyWrapper is a class that wrap a MyObject instance. It also
declares a property 'name' which is defined as dependent of
"object.name" (using +keyPathsForValuesAffectingName).
I'm creating 2 distinct wrappers that use the same underlying object.
I start to observe both wrapper's name.
Now, I want to destroy the first wrapper. I unregister observer and
release it.
Then, when I change the underlying object's name, the KVO machinery
try to notify the released object instead of notifying the
registred one (Note that NSZombieEnabled is set to YES).
