The Apple doc for iOS says: "From a practical perspective, in iOS and OS X outlets should be defined as declared properties. Outlets should generally be weak, except for those from File’s Owner to top-level objects in a nib file (or, in iOS, a storyboard scene) which should be strong. Outlets that you create should will therefore typically be weak by default because:
- Outlets that you create to, for example, subviews of a view controller’s view or a window controller’s window, are arbitrary references between objects that do not imply ownership." This just adds more confusion. If the properties for the majority of IBOutlets are weak (since they're usually all going to be owned by the UIViewController's view), why would we release them in dealloc? That seems like an error. And setting them all to nil in viewDidUnload wouldn't seem to have any effect, other than simply being good practice for safety. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
