Correct management of addObserverForName:object:queue:usingBlock:

Question

I\'m still new to blocks in objective-c and wondering if I have this psuedo code correct. I\'m not sure if it\'s enough to just remove the observer or if i have to call removeOb

Answer 1

The scope of the block doesn't have permission to release the scanner object. If you're not using garbage collection, removing the release and making the scanner autorelease ([[[Scanner alloc] init] autorelease]) should do the trick.

You should also be able to safely move the call to removeObserver outside of the block.

For the case of EXC_BAD_ACCESS: Entering bt in the console window after the application crashes will give you a backtrace, and should inform you where the error occurred.
