You have Instruments for that (ObjectAlloc instrument or Zombie/leaks templates). Also under certain conditions, you have the static analyzer.

Also, an isAutoReleased message would be worthless. At any point in time, you have no idea how many times library routines that you've called might
have retained/released/autoreleased, nor should you care.

Actually, it would be nice to have *in a debugging context* since trying to track down a pointer that is in the autorelease pool the number of times it has been retained when you do a release would be very beneficial. Yes, it would slow things down, but it would sure save a lot of time when trying to track down a spurious release!

e.g.

id pObj = [[[ObjectType alloc] init] autorelease];

... do something here that doesn't retain the pObj, maybe return the value to a caller...

[pObj release]; // <-- This should assert in a debug context, since it is already in the current autorelease pool.

// [pObj autorelease] should also probably assert, since it is now in the current autorelease pool twice...


What I ended up doing is progressively creating NSAutoreleasePools, running the code from that routine, then draining that pool until I found the culprit. Oh the joys of working on a large project with programmers of varying Cocoa skill levels.
