Next time in my reply I will be clear to state that a) I have realised my mistake b) I have learnt from it to to save you some time writing your response ;-) I do appreciate your help though. > When it comes to autorelease pools, we primarily see them as a performance tuning technique. If your code is not running into performance problems and if the documentation does not explicitly tell your code to use a pool (say for use with NSThread), then please don't worry about it. Really well put, thanks. I also like the C-style syntax, looks much neater. It looks like once again this question may well turn into a discussion about memory management... There should be no need really as it's so simple :P On 17 April 2012 07:08, Dave Zarzycki <zarzy...@apple.com> wrote: > On Apr 17, 2012, at 1:28 AM, Graham Cox <graham....@bigpond.com> wrote: > > > …having been using Objective C productively for over 10 years now, that > I still find ARC something I have not needed.
