Fair enough. Better to have said, "objects I didn't allocate." I would've converted my project to ARC had time permitted. I will say that this new understanding does make me reconsider my opinion on the merits of properties (meaning I think they have more merit than I used to). Would it be a waste of time to go through and add properties for my members before converting to ARC? Does it make any difference? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
