My (Leopard) app needs to create a sequence of NSOperations, often thousands
of them, a few at a time.  The relevant code is in a setup function that
ends with

for (k = 0;k < numOps;k++) {
   solverOp *thisOp = [solverOp new];
   [thisOp initWithData:Data];
   [opQueue addOperation:thisOp];
}

at which point the setup code exits.

I had always *assumed* that, since an NSOperation was allocated (not just
declared), it would automatically persist long enough to do its job -- in
other words, with GC supported, retain count would trump "scope" (as above).

However, I cannot find any sample code that exemplifies this so I became
concerned that it might not be true.

Is the setup code fragment above correct or must NSOperations be retained in
scope explicitly until the operation is finished?

TIA.
