// Because memory management can be a pain, Xcode 4.2 and iOS 4 introduced Automatic Reference Counting (ARC).
|
||||||
|
// ARC is a compiler feature that inserts retain, release, and autorelease automatically for you, so when using ARC,
|
||||||
|
// you must not use retain, relase, or autorelease.
|
||||||
|
MyClass *arcMyClass = [[MyClass alloc] init]; // Without ARC, you will need to call: [arcMyClass release] after
|
||||||
|
// you're done using arcMyClass. But with ARC, there is no need. It will insert this release statement for you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// As for the "assign" and "retain" @property attributes, with ARC you use "weak" and "strong".
|
||||||
|
@property (weak) MyClass *weakVar; // weak does not take ownership of object. If original instance's reference count
|
||||||
|
// is set to zero, weakVar will automatically receive value of nil to avoid application crashing.
|
||||||
|
@property (strong) MyClass *strongVar; // strong takes ownership of object. Ensures object will stay in memory to use.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// For regular variables (not @property declared variables), use the following:
|
||||||
|
__strong NSString *strongString; // Default. Variable is retained in memory until it leaves it's scope.
|
||||||
|
__weak NSSet *weakSet; // Weak reference to existing object. When existing object is released, weakSet is set to nil.
|
||||||
|
__unsafe_unretained NSArray *unsafeArray; // Like __weak but unsafeArray not set to nil when existing object is released.
