When to use -retainCount?

Question

I would like to know in what situation did you use -retainCount so far, and eventually the problems that can happen using it.

Thanks.

Answer 1

What problems can you get from using it? All it does is return the retain count of the object. I have never called it and can't think of any reason that I would. I have overridden it in singletons to make sure they aren't deallocated though.
