Can anyone explain why this is not a memory leak?
@implementation MyDocument
- (id)init
{
self = [super init]; // memory leak?
if (self)
{
// Add your subclass-specific initialization here.
// If an error occurs here, send a [self release] message and return nil.
}
return self;
}
// rest of auto-generated coded deleted for brevity
@end
In your code I do not see any instantiation like this [[MyDocument alloc] init]. Therefor nothing is created and there can not be a memory leak. Hope this helps?
Memory leaks occure if you don't release a instance. releasing instances is done like so:
MyDocument * aDocument = [[MyDocument alloc] init];
// Do something with aDocument.
// Release aDocument.
[aDocument release].
No leaks there. The [self] is not yet init'ed!
