Hi all, I've been reading the tutorials at http://www.gnustep.it/nicola/Tutorials/and trying them out from memory, but using ProjectCenter instead of manually creating the GNUMakefile. When running my app, I kept getting an illegal operation. Upon closer inspection, I found the problem to be the following line:
mainWnd = AUTORELEASE([NSWindow alloc]); mainWnd is a NSWindow* object declared in my AppController.h. When called from applicationWillFinishLaunching:, the line above caused an illegal operation. After removing the call to the AUTORELEASE() macro, it worked. Calling AUTORELEASE worked fine when adding an NSMenu* object to the app. The question is: when should I initialize an object with AUTORELEASE, and when shouldn't I? Also, coming from a iOS background, I am used to seeing [[objectClass alloc] init] for initialization, yet in GNUStep, it is done with [new]. What's the difference? Or when should I use [[alloc] init]? Thx for any info! Sincerely, Omar
