Hi, i am implementing a datasource for an nsoutlineview to represent the contents of a simple tree-structure defined by the following class (simplified):
@interface TBCatalogNode : NSObject { NSMutableArray* children; } @property (readonly, retain) NSMutableArray* children; (the array children is created by the constructor is definately never nil) my data source looks like this: -(CatalogRepresentation*) initWithNode:(TBCatalogNode*)rootNode { if (self = [super init]) { root = [rootNode retain]; } return self; } - (id)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView child:(NSInteger)index ofItem:(id)item { TBCatalogNode* objItem = (item == nil) ? root : item; return [[[objItem children] objectAtIndex:index] retain]; } - (NSInteger)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView numberOfChildrenOfItem:(id)item { return (item == nil) ? [[root children] count] : [[item children] count]; } - (BOOL)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView isItemExpandable:(id)item { return ([self outlineView:outlineView numberOfChildrenOfItem:item] > 0); } - (id)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView objectValueForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn byItem:(id)item { TBCatalogNode* objItem = (item == nil) ? root : item; return [[[objItem preset] info] objectForKey:@"ID"]; // this line gets a string from a nsdictionary } This code works perfect with the garbage collection activated. when i disable the gc it is working just at the begining, it shows the first level under the root. when i click to expand an item it crashes -> debugger is telling me at numberOfChildrenOfItem: - function. I dont know what in the background is going on as I am pretty new to OSX. I guess it is about some memory management, threading ?! I tried to retain nearly everything, and I am running out of ideas. The best solution would be to use the garbage collection of course, but I need to load some bundles which are not compiled for gc. Is there a way to load these bundles anyway? I tried to disable gc for the pointer of the bundle, but that failed.
