Hi All, I am trying to find out how memory is retained/released when using different Cocoa collection classes. Is there a good resource on this anyone can connect me to?
Here is some detailed questions about what I am trying to find out: If I create a dictionary in the following manner (where myArray is an NSArray* and authorName is an NSString*) NSDictionary * myDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:myArray, @"Titles", authorName, @"Name",nil]; Does this call automatically increase the retain count of myArray and authorName? So that I should call release on them if I don't need to have them anywhere else outside the dictionary? Or will calling release on them mess up the dictionary? Also - once I am done with this dictionary - since I created it using a class method (and not alloc) - am I right in assuming that I should not call release on it? And if that is the case when does it get released? Thanks for your help!
