Hi, Below is a snippet of code from the "Creating an iPhone Application" document from the iPhone DevCenter. I'm not clear as to why this works. My understanding is that when [UIViewController alloc] is executed, the retain count is 1 and then when [aViewController release] is called, the retain count reduces to zero. Does self.viewController not then reference deallocated memory? I thought I had got the hang of retain / release but this snippet confused me...
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application { // Set up the view controller UIViewController *aViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MoveMeView" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]]; self.viewController = aViewController; [aViewController release]; // Add the view controller's view as a subview of the window UIView *controllersView = [viewController view]; [window addSubview:controllersView]; [window makeKeyAndVisible]; } C _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
