Hi this is a follow up question on memory management. In my class
BrowseViewController, I have a UITableView and 2 NSMutableArrays.
@interface BrowseViewController : UIViewController <UIActionSheetDelegate> {
IBOutlet UITableView *tableView;
NSMutableArray *tableList;
NSMutableArray *cfrTitleList;
}
@property(nonatomic, retain) UITableView *tableView;
@end
Now the BrowseViewController has a few "child" Navigational controllers. This
allows the user to drill down. My question is, in the BrowseViewController.m
dealloc method, if I release the two NSMutableArrays, I receive the error
“EXC_BAD_ACCESS”. If I don't release the NSMutableArrays, does this mean the
navigationController takes ownership of the NSMutableArrays?
Thanks for all the help.
Phil
