Thanks.. Good question. The method in question "PerformXMLXPathQuery" is a wrapper that was obtained:
http://cocoawithlove.com/2008/10/using-libxml2-for-parsing-and-xpath.html NSArray *PerformXMLXPathQuery(NSData *document, NSString *query) { xmlDocPtr doc; /* Load XML document */ doc = xmlReadMemory([document bytes], [document length], "", NULL, XML_PARSE_RECOVER); if (doc == NULL) { NSLog(@"Unable to parse."); return nil; } NSArray *result = PerformXPathQuery(doc, query); xmlFreeDoc(doc); return result; } How can I tell who has ownership of the Array? Thanks!
