There's a *very* simple set of rules to follow regarding retain/release. Newbies sometimes make it hard on themselves by doing extra work, rather than trying to follow the rules. Of course ultimately you want to understand the rules, but they're simple enough that you can write correct code before you even get to that point. If you just follow the rules, rather than assuming that there's some mysterious complexity omitted and trying to squeeze in a few extra retains/releases here and there in order to compensate for the documentation's non-existent deficiencies ;-) That's a little exaggerated. What we see most typically with newbies is neglecting by accident to follow the rules at some point, then trying to peek at retain counts to debug it, then getting themselves confused and adding spurious/incorrect memory management code. -- Scott Ribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
