Folks,
I'm trying to make sure that I correctly understand the rules for manual
memory management in Cocoa. In particular, I'm curious as to the safety of
sending an object a release message and then using that object later on in the
same method.
Here's the method that I'm curious about:
- (IBAction)createEmployee:(id)sender
{
// Create the new Person object
Person *p = [employeeController newObject];
// Add it to the content array of 'employeeController'
[employeeController addObject:p];
[p release];
// Re-sort in case the user has sorted a column
[employeeController rearrangeObjects];
// Get the sorted array
NSArray *a = [employeeController arrangedObjects];
// Find the object just added
NSUInteger row = [a indexOfObjectIdenticalTo:p];
NSLog(@"starting edit of %@ in row %ld", p, row);
}
Is it dangerous to send the release message to p right after adding it to the
array? Should I put the release at the end of the method?
