Probably because you either didn't explicitly release the object whose accessor you called (you autoreleased it or never had an owning reference), or the accessor covered your butt. > So I thought that the "Technique 1" of the linked article (returning > [[someObject retain] autorelease]) was the standart practice employed by > AppKit. Nope, otherwise there'd be no sense in documenting the others. They'd just document the one they used and tell you to do the same. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
