Thanks very much for that analysis, Kyle. This blows. All of our business logic is written in C++, which I'd think is a common scenario (the paucity of "business" logic in the app store notwithstanding). This problem is occurring in a UI controller that needs to show information from a C++ object.

First of all, thanks a lot for the responses. I have compiled a couple of examples, and they do build. That makes this all the more perplexing. The MapCallouts tutorial is one that I tried. In their file that uses MKMapView, these are the import statements: #import #import Now the import state

Not sure about autorelease pools in NSOperations

2011-04-11 Thread G S
Hi all. I haven't really managed autorelease pools explicitly before, but the NSOperation doc says to use one in your NSOperation derivatives. My question is where to put it. The example shows the pool being created and released in the main() function, but I don't really allocate anything there.
