Help with NSURLConnection memory fault


  • Subject: Help with NSURLConnection memory fault

I create (in an object) an NSURLConnection and start it asynchronously:

mNSURLConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:urlRequest delegate:self];
[mNSURLConnection start];


I release the NSURLConnection instance after it calls back in
-connectionDidFinishLoading:
-connection:didFailWithError:

My code proceeds on its merry way, eventually releasing a bunch of objects, one of which was object that created the NSURLConnection instance (and had set itself as the delegate for that connection). Alas, when that object is deallocated, the app crashes (since I am running in Xcode, gdb is attached), and the stack trace shows:


#0 0xa078900c in objc_assign_ivar
#1 0x92a64558 in -[NSURLConnection(NSURLConnectionReallyInternal) releaseDelegate]
#2 0x92a644e4 in _NSURLConnectionReleaseClient
#3 0x902cbc4d in ClientContextHolder<CFURLConnectionClient_V4>::forget
#4 0x902ca3f6 in URLConnectionClient::processEvents
...


I don't know what to make of this, other than I know that the delegate object is already deallocated. But, the NSURLConnection object was also, and earlier, so I don't understand why it appears to still exist, especially so late, and is still referring to its delegate.

I'd appreciate any advice about what I should go looking after to track this down, as I am reasonably certain that the sequence of my object deallocations is proper (based upon NSLog() calls in the - dealloc methods).
