Yes it would be a waste of time I think. If the code is working, leave it alone. I love ARC although I'm pleased I learned manual-retain-release first and now don't have to worry about 99% of memory issues. I like properties, even private ones, because I like to split the interface of the class, even the methods it only uses itself, from the implementation. So often I find I start with @synthesize foo=_foo; and by the time I get to the end of the project I've written custom foo: and setFoo: methods which do something else too. But it's all in the end just style and what makes you most productive. I follow one pattern which works for me. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
