Completely agree. When I see [foo new] I think C++. When I see [[foo alloc] init], I think obj-C. I recently had a case where I needed alloc alone and init’ed the object later. The necessity arose out of some cruft with querying bundle instances and I had to manage my own list of bundles. Just querying a bundle by ID gave a new instance. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
