I think you misunderstood and I didn't write that sentence as clearly as I
could.
For a specific example, check out the AnimatedTableView sample code from Apple.
The ATColorTableController class is a datasource for the table, but it's
dealloc looks like:
- (void)dealloc
{
[_colorList release];
[_colorNames release];
[_window release];
[super dealloc];
}
Based on my current understanding, the table controller's dealloc (above)
should be setting the table datasource and delegate to nil. Correct? If so, I
will file a bug.
Or, what is the reason why the code as written is correct?
