I, for one, am surprised that NSMutableData works this way, given that
a) the method name specifically requests that no copy is made, and b)
there's no particular reason for it to behave that way unless the data
is resized. However, the following test code confirms it:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
int main()
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
char *test_string = malloc(8);
strncpy(test_string, "testing", 8);
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:test_string length:8];
NSMutableData *mutableData = [NSMutableData
dataWithBytesNoCopy:test_string length:8];
NSLog(@"%p", test_string);
NSLog(@"%p", [data bytes]);
NSLog(@"%p", [mutableData bytes]);
[pool release];
return 0;
}
$ gcc -framework Cocoa test_string.m
