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
