Re: exception in init

Hi,

If it's a real error, this is what I do:

- (id) initWithURL: (NSURL *) url
{
self = [super init];
if (self == nil)
	return nil;

if (url == nil)
	{
	[self release];
	return nil;
	}

return self;
}

or in this case, you could just do this:

- (id) initWithURL: (NSURL *) url
{
if (url == nil)
	return nil;

self = [super init];
if (self == nil)
	return nil;

return self;
}

The caller should check for a nil value returned from the init method.

If it's a programming error, e.g. it should never happen, then it's probably best to log the error and abort the App.

Hope this helps.

All the Best
Dave

Hi,

I think the question was asked and answered but I cannot see a clearance what is the right way to write init in the cases the arguments are nil or
wrong?
Returning a nil or raising an exception?

- (id) initWithURL: (NSURL *) url {


 if ((self = [super init])) {

if (!url) {

// ?

}

 if (![url isFileURL]) {

// ?

}

}

 return self;

}

I can frequently see the following in init

NSAssert(url, @"url may not be nil", );
