I wouldn't have though so. I would assume that since I did not allocate them directly, I don't need to clean them up. I've just inspected some code that declares properties that are marked as outlets and whose member variables are allocated in the NIB file. When the class' dealloc method is called, it calls release for said properties.
I would assume this is bad form. But I would like to know if I'm mistaken and if this is valid.
@interface ViewController : UIViewController
{
MKMapView* mapView;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet MKMapView* mapView;
@end
@implementation ViewController
@synthesize mapView;
- (void)dealloc
{
[mapView release], mapView = nil;
[super dealloc];
}
@end
