NSXMLParser frees itself on error?

[Mike Manzano]

Hi Folks,




        _showsParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];



- (void) cleanupShowParsing {
        [_buildingShows removeAllObjects];
        [_showsParser abortParsing];
        [_showsParser release];
        _showsParser = nil;
        _currentlyBuildingShows = NO;
}









Thanks!

Mike

I have an NSXMLParser doing parsing the contents of a URL. It is allocated like this: Given a good URL to a parsable XML document, its parserDidEndDocument: method calls this method: Note that the parser is aborted and released in here. This seems to work just fine, multiple times, with no problems. However, if I give it a URL to non-XML data (should be a 404 page somewhere), it calls parser:parseErrorOccurred: as expected. This method also calls - cleanupShowParsing. However, when it is called from here, the program eventually terminates with: 2009-04-30 23:53:52.573 Revision3[49280:20b] PARSE ERROR: Error Domain=NSXMLParserErrorDomain Code=5 "Operation could not be completed. (NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 5.)" objc[49280]: FREED(id): message shouldContinueAfterFatalError sent to freed object=0xf305a0 I have verified that 0xf305a0 is indeed _showsParser. Further, I've verified that if I don't release _showsParser in -cleanupShowParsing, no error occurs given a non-XML file. My question is it the case that NSXMLParser frees itself if it encounters an error, but does NOT free itself on a successful parse of a document?
