| No...it's not a question about "the rules"! I know better than to ask that! :-)
On page 271 in Hillegass, (Typing tutor) a setter is defined thus:
-(void) setString:(NSString *) c { c = [c copy]; [string release]; string = c;
}
and "string" is subsequently released in the "dealloc" method.
The caller is the overridden method:
-(void) insertText:(NSString *)input { [self setString:input]; }
My question pertains the **original** object , which was referenced/passed to the method "setString".
Can I **assume** that the originally referenced object is released in an appropriate way, once the copy is created and assigned to "c"? |
