Hello,

I have the following code :

        if (![fileMgr fileExistsAtPath: indexFilePath]) {
                NSMutableDictionary *index = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[index setObject: [NSNumber numberWithLong: DEFAULTS_BLOCKSIZE] forKey: INDEXKEY_BLOCKSIZE]; [index setObject: [NSNumber numberWithLong: DEFAULTS_BLOCKSPERPAGE] forKey: INDEXKEY_BLOCKSPERPAGE];
                _blockSize = DEFAULTS_BLOCKSIZE;
                _blocksPerPage = DEFAULTS_BLOCKSPERPAGE;
                if (![index writeToFile: indexFilePath atomically: YES]) {
                        _dirPath = nil;
                        NSLog(LOGMSG_INDEXFILENOTWRITABLE);
                }
                [index release];
        } else {
NSDictionary *index = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile: indexFilePath];
                if (nil == [index objectForKey: INDEXKEY_BLOCKSIZE]) {
                        NSLog(LOGMSG_INDEXFILEOUTOFFORMAT);
                        _dirPath = nil;
                } else
_blockSize = [(NSNumber*)[index objectForKey: INDEXKEY_BLOCKSIZE] longValue];
                if (nil == [index objectForKey: INDEXKEY_BLOCKSPERPAGE]) {
                        NSLog(LOGMSG_INDEXFILEOUTOFFORMAT);
                        _dirPath = nil;
                } else
_blocksPerPage = [(NSNumber*)[index objectForKey: INDEXKEY_BLOCKSPERPAGE] longValue];
                [index release];
        }

the [index release] on the second branch gives me the following output on the debugger window :

TestRunnrer(1661) malloc: *** error for object 0x112a50: double free
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

in the enclosing scope I have set up an autorelease pool. What I am suspecting is that when I init the dictionary with a file it is autoreleased, and then the error when I do the release. I this the case ? If so where do I know when some object is created autoreleased or not ? In the NSDictionary's reference page there is nothing mentioned.

Many thanks
