hello,
i'm having a few memory issues where my memory climbs over time although using
leaks it shows i have no leaks. i have gone over my code many times making
sure i release items that need it and have gone over the docs looking for
something i might be missing. i'm thinking my problem might be in these 2
design areas and if anyone could give some input that would be great:
1. i have a handful of mutable arrays that i need for the lifetime of my app.
i alloc/init them upon startup and at various places i do removeAllObjects and
then addObjectFromArray with the other array being convenience created. in
dealloc i do release.
2. i use NSObject performSelectorInBackground for a few methods so they do not
tie up my main thread. one of these background methods uses NSTask. in every
background method i init the autorelease pool and release it according to the
docs. i also release the NSTask i use. and i do modify a few of the above
mentioned mutable arrays in these background methods in the way i described
above.
i know i'm not including code here so i hope this is not too vague. but i was
thinking someone might be able to tell me if i'm on the wrong track here. i'm
trying to pinpoint where the problem can be and it seems everytime i initiate
performSelectorInBackground my memory usage goes up and is not reclaimed. i
know starting a new thread increases memory but i'm expected it to be
reclaimed. to be honest i don't need to use so many threads just one would do,
but i used performSelectorInBackground to make things a bit more simple. i can
provide more info if needed. thank you very much,
rick
