How to demonstrate memory leak and zombie objects in Xcode Instruments?
I would like to demonstrate memory leak and zombie object in Xcode Instruments on a class. I've found it pretty hard to trigger on purpose, especially with ARC turned on.

B should have an @property that strongly references an instance of A. A *a = [A new]; B *b = [B new]; a.b = b; b.a = a; That'll create a leak. For a Zombie Create a @property that is of type assign (or a variable of type __unsafe_unretained . Then: A *a = [A new]; A
