This isn't strictly necessary. If you need a singleton object that lives for the duration of your app, for example, there's no reason you can't just alloc/init one and let it go (unless, of course, you're using garbage collection, in which case it might matter). I can't imagine a likely scenario for this outside of misapplication of an idiom, but that doesn't make it illegal to ignore the return value of -init. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
