automatic-ref-counting

i am upgrading an iOS 4 project to use it with ARC with the sdk5. So i want to use the automatic refactor method for converting the code to use ARC. Unfortunately it does´t work. I get a lots of errors.. for(id* child in childObjectArray){ [child removeParentGroupReferences]; } That gives me the following error output: Pointer to non-const type 'id' with no explicit ownership Any help about that? What do i have to change? Thanks for any help.. Change id* to id . id is already defined as an object pointer. id is a type, not an object. That means that id shouldn't be a pointer. Remove the * to

Example iVar foo , @property (nonatomic) NSString* foo; // inside .h Option 1 @Synthesize foo; //Inside .m foo = [[NSString alloc] init]; // viewDidLoad method Option 2 @Synthesize foo; //Inside .m self.foo = [[NSString alloc] init]; // viewDidLoad method Option 3 @Synthesize foo = _foo; //Inside .m _foo = [[NSString alloc] init]; // viewDidLoad method Why? At so many places I have seen code which has different ways of doing init an Object in Obj - C but which one is the best practise? justin In this regard, ARC is the same as MRC. you have specified all these take place in viewDidLoad . in

short question: someone (cit. 5 ) told me that resident memory could be reclaimed by my system. What does this mean? Does it mean that my App is not using that memory or is the resident memory value directly related to the memory being currently used by my App? I haven't found much documentation on this apart from those answers . I am trying to solve an issue. I am writing a game usign iOS 6.0 and Cocos2d 2.0 and I do get some memory problems. I have Cococs2d 2.0 as static library and I wrote my code using ARC (which I suspect being the reason). Going from Initial scene to Character Selection

the code below will crash because of EXC_BAD_ACCESS typedef void(^myBlock)(void); - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; NSArray *tmp = [self getBlockArray]; myBlock block = tmp[0]; block(); } - (id)getBlockArray { int val = 10; //crash version return [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: ^{NSLog(@"blk0:%d", val);}, ^{NSLog(@"blk1:%d", val);}, nil]; //won't crash version // return @[^{NSLog(@"block0: %d", val);}, ^{NSLog(@"block1: %d", val);}]; } the code runs in iOS 9 with ARC enabled. And I was trying to figure out the reason that lead to crash. by po tmp in lldb I found (lldb) po tmp <_

I am working with Automatic Reference Counting. I have a custom UIViewController subclass and whenever I call -presentViewController: animated:completion: or remove its view from the superview I would like to NSLog something like "I am dealloced" so I know that the view controller has successfully been removed. I have implemented the -dealloc method in my view controller. However I started a test project where I just had two UIViewController instances (no retain cycles) and -dealloc is not called either when I push the second UIViewController modally or when I remove the superview or when I
