On sufficiently-recent OS versions, the runtime will silently push an autorelease pool if you autorelease without one. This can lead to unrecognized leaks if this happens on a long-lived thread. On some of those OS versions you can run with environment variable OBJC_DEBUG_MISSING_POOLS=YES to get a log message when this happens. (History: Some OS version implemented this automatic pool behavior by accident. We chose to formally support it rather than take it away again and risk crashes in shipping apps.) -- Greg Parker gpar...@apple.com Runtime Wrangler _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
