Hi,
I still have trouble understanding the autorelease pool. Lets assume an object Z has a method where it gets a string y and returns another string x. Now when an instance of this object is created and the method is invoked, x is returned and is used somewhere else. Now this method of object Z should not be the owner of x right? Because x is used elsewhere. So I add x to the autorelease-pool to declare that I am not the owner (and won't send it a release message); x = [[[NSString alloc] init] autorelease]; but where do I release the pool? And to which pool is it added? I thought I would create my own pool in the init-method of Z and send it a [pool release] message in the alloc-method. But I haven't seen that so far in sample code ... can someone explain me what happens when I add x to the autorelease pool? And where does it get released when I don't send a release command to the pool? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
