The former is more idiomatic because you don't need to remember the release at the end. That is especially important if you were to change your code at some time in the future, such as adding a return statement sometime before the release, which would give you a memory leak. -- Dave Carrigan d...@rudedog.org Seattle, WA, USA _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
