The guidelines are simple, and you can implement them up in a half-dozen lines in each setter method. So long as you do that, and consistently use those setter methods instead of directly assigning to instance variables, then you've taken care of 99% of your so-called "manual" memory management. And, if you use something like Accessorizer, or Xcode's built-in scripts, to automagically create your accessor methods for you, then you've gotten that far without having to write a single line of MM-related code. sherm-- _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
