I read the following passage (reproduced verbatim) in a book .. "Weak references were added in Mac OS X Leopard and effectively zero out the reference if the referenced object is released. This is primarily used when the garbage collector is turned on, but it is a helpful flag to use when doing non-GC development (such as for the iPhone) as well."
This is in a paragraph explaining __weak in a piece of code. I understand that __weak references are zeroing in GC code but in memory managed code I didn't think they did anything at all. Is the text I quoted incorrect? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
