Going back to non-ARC

Having worked with ARC code for a long while, I discovered an incompatibility with a library that means I have to convert to non-ARC code. Of course, there's no guidelines for this, so I'm just wondering what the rule is for the dealloc method. I would release all non-nil instance variables, an

By default those match beginning and end of string. If you use NSRegularExpression, there's an AnchorsMatchLines option to control this behavior. Douglas Davidson > On Jun 12, 2015, at 3:41 AM, Antonio Nunes wrote: > > Hi, > > I a trying to find a line within a string. When I write: > > le

Ok, I admit to being confused. Seems like what we are missing is the data model. Your containers must be or at least have an array for storage.

Since Swift is new, it's been designed to handle the "problems" you get with Objective-C's fully dynamic nature. Also, there's only so much you can modify Objective-C before it's no longer a superset of C. You might have heard the reason the caret character was used for blocks is due to it being
