Memory leak on presentModalViewController

问题

I'm opening a camera for the user to take a picture. I keep getting a memory leak when I took a picture and pressed "use" on: [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES],

Full code:

imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.delegate = self;      
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imagePicker.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                              (NSString *) kUTTypeImage,
                              (NSString *) kUTTypeMovie, nil];
imagePicker.allowsEditing = NO;

[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES]; //This leaks

In both didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo and imagePickerControllerDidCancel I put this line:

[imagePicker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

I do know this question has been asked before but none of them seen to help me any further with the leak I have got.

回答1:

If it's not an ARC env:

Your imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init]; returns retain count +1,

then [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES] retains your controller, so retain count +2,

on [imagePicker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; it's +1, so you still have your controller hanging in memory.

Release your controller after presentModalViewController.

Try this code

imagePicker = [[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init] autorelease];

And get sure what you have

NSAutoreleasePool* pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

// your code

[pool release];

Turns out this is a bug in the code of iOS itself.

I downloaded the sample code of the Apple Developer Website and the same leak turned up. So this will be nothing I can fix myself and I hope this gets corrected soon.

How about creating a @property for imagePicker and assigning:

self.imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
