iPhone memory management, a newbie question

Question

I\'ve seen in (Apple) sample code two types of ways of allocation memory, and am not sure I understand the difference and resulting behavior.

Answer 1

Please keep in mind that

NSMutableArray *anArray = [NSMutableArray array];

acts like:

NSMutableArray *anArray1 = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease];

So doing a release again will cause the crash as you are trying to release an autoreleased object.

Hope this helps you.
