memory management question

[Eumir Gaspar]

This is pretty much a dumb question, but I just want to be sure im not doing it wrong. In doing assignment 2a, we're supposed to make a mutable array and add polygons in that array. I did this successfully and also called release on the array. I don't see any log messages from my custom dealloc for the polygon so the question is: before releasing the array, should i iterate on all the objexts and release them one by one? or does releasing the array entail releasing of the objects inside it? (if it's the latter's case, then i must be wrong using my dealloc...which is weird since calling it on the object shows the log). Thanks!

On my solution I:

1. instantiate the polygon object using alloc-init combo

2. add the object to the array using addObject

3. call autorelease on the object I instantiated in #1

4. just call release on the array. No need to iterate on the array contents.

The polygon dealloc gets called.

If I'm not mistaken, the array calls retain on the objects it
contains. That means you need to release the polygon objects
immediately after adding them to the array.

I totally agree with Ruben, that's why we're in this study group in
the first place. :)

Here's a link to the assignment documents: http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p/

maraming salamat, eumir at paul! :)

i actually joined ADC and downloaded the SDK when it came out, only to find out that my MacBook needed to be upgraded to a Leopard (which I did not like). so now that i've upgraded my Mac, exactong Radam invited me to join. now, wala nang excuse!

It looks like your Leopard days will be short-lived, iPad SDK requires
us to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
I'm also not very keen with it, but can you argue with Steve? Even
Adobe seems to be having a hard time... :)
