Kyle/Nick/Greg,
Thank you guys. Took a little digging but the combination of
NSZombie & instruments object allocation did the job. After years
working with Java I find myself tripping over memory management
issues much too often. I had allocated a UIButton using
buttonWithType: and then later released it without ever having
retained it. I'm concluding (perhaps incorrectly) that using
buttonWithType: doesn't grant 'object ownership' in the same way
that alloc does.
Right. Read the memory management guidelines; they outline the
(simple) rules pretty well. Basically: You own the object if you
receive it via a call that contains "new", "alloc", or "copy", in
which case you *must* -release it. An object received via any other
call, you do *NOT* own, and must *NOT* -release it unless you first -
retain it.
