Hello All,
Is it a good practice to call dispose() after unlock() on an EOEditingContext that I want to throw away and never again use?

Yes.

Does it help garbage collection and free up memory?

Yes.

Or is unlock() and "forget-about-it" good enough?

Yes, it is "good enough".  Calling dispose() is better.


Chuck

The EOEditingContext.dispose() API is not detailed enough to know when/if/whether I should call dispose(). However I did notice the practice in this WireHose example code: http://www.wirehose.com/developer/DeveloperGuide/Windows/Contents/ Fetching_dictionaries.htm
