That's similar to what I have used. Initially it started out simply as id keepAlive=self; ... keepAlive=nil;
but a few Xcode versions ago the static analyzer started complaining that it wasn't really doing anything. So that last line became if(keepAlive) { keepAlive=nil; } which shut up the analyzer. [keepAlive self]; like Andy suggests would probably work just as well, though probably a tad more expensive as a method call is involved.
