How is retain setter implemented with @synthesize?

Question

I have the following in the header:

@property (nonatomic, retain) UIView *overlay;

And in the implementation:

@synthesize o         


        

Answer 1

If you assign the object directly to the property, you still must release it:

self.overlay = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(160.0f, 70.0f, 150.0f, 310.0f)] autorelease];
