I mean, first of all, false positives are a well-known phenomenon with this static analyzer (the Web page at llvm.org talks about this). Second, they do no harm. I get a false positive in *any* of my apps that uses NSURLConnection, for example: NSURLConnection* con = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:req delegate:self]; That triggers a "potential leak" warning. Well, of course it is a *potential* leak. But it isn't a *real* leak, because I happen to know that I'm going to release this object in either connection:didFailWithError: or connectionDidFinishLoading:. (My code and memory management come right out of Apple's own examples here.) I know how NSURLConnections work; the static analyzer doesn't. But I would hardly call that a bug. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = [email protected], http://www.tidbits.com/matt/ pantes anthropoi tou eidenai oregontai phusei Among the 2007 MacTech Top 25, http://tinyurl.com/2rh4pf AppleScript: the Definitive Guide, 2nd edition http://www.tidbits.com/matt/default.html#applescriptthings Take Control of Exploring & Customizing Snow Leopard http://tinyurl.com/kufyy8 RubyFrontier! http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/default.html TidBITS, Mac news and reviews since 1990, http://www.tidbits.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
