Retain Count of NSConnection object

[Alexander Reichstadt]

Hi and happy new year,

I have a server and a client app using NSConnection.

All seems to work fine. The client is doing something like  
[(NSDistantObject *)aServer doThis] while the server object has a method


- (oneway void)doThis
{
NSLog(@do something);
}

After calling this method, the retain count I geton the client side  
when I call [[aServer connectionForProxy] retainCount] has increased  
by 3. Why I cannot understand at all. It doesn't do anything. Even if  
I empty the entire method doThis it increases and makes my client run  
out of memory eventually.


Is the server actually influencing the retainCount of its client's  
connectionForProxy, or is the retainCount something that every party  
has to look after on its own (which I thought would be the case)?


I can hardly expect for this to be a Cocoa-bug but imagine I am  
misunderstanding something. Can anyone help and please tell me where I  
am erring here?


Thanks a lot
Alex

You're expecting -retainCount to return a useful number. It doesn't.
