Just one little addition to my previous mail; it is: NSString *blah = [NSString string]; You forgot the star ;-) Filip van der Meeren http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xlinterpreter On 19 Nov 2008, at 23:47, Filip van der Meeren wrote: As long as you do not contain the "blah" in a NSAutorel

Re: Autorelease Question

It will not be contained in a NSAutoreleasePool per-se. Lets say you create a console application, then you would have to make the choice, will I use the NSAutoreleasePool, or try it without (most likely you will, or you wouldn't be able to use autorelease or use any methods that use this me

Re: Autorelease Question

I disagree, the retain, autorelease and release are all defined within the Foundation framework. And that is something that belongs together with the Objective-C language (according to me); I know it does not need it to exist as a language, but Objective-C is kind of useless without the Found

Re: Autorelease Question

If you've done this: NSString *str = [NSString string]; then you can simply do this: return str; Whoever is getting the returned value should retain it, and then release it when they're done. If you'd done this instead: NSString *str = [[NSString alloc] init]; the

Re: Autorelease Question

I feel the need to express one concern about this topic: If you already know you will autorelease the object and return it, then you should call the autorelease at the same moment you create the object. NSString *str = [[[NSString alloc] init] autorelease]; If you wait until the end of you
