Objective-C Memory Question

Question

Is it a leak if I have a view controller and allocate the view like this:

self.view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];

Do I need to do som

Answer 1

There is a very simple rule for Objective-C memory management. If you've sent retain message, you've to send release also. I do not know exceptions with this rule is SDK itself.

Here we've alloc, that sends retain itself (always), so you have to release object somewhere. You can do it in dealloc or right here, after assigning it to self.view.
