Summary: Missing memory leak report in -init methods that do not
return self.
Product: clang
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Semantic Analyzer
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
CC: [email protected]
Generaly, an initializer returns self, but in some case, it may decide to
return something else (it's a common practice to return nil when something goes
wrong)
In these cases, 'self' must be release before the method returns else
it will leaks.
(http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2008/2/11/198549
)
for example:
- (id)initWithString:(NSString *)str {
if (!str) {
[self release];
return nil; // analyzer does not report a leak, but it should
}
if (self = [super init]) {
// do something with str
}
return self;
}
