Is there an NSCFTimer memory leak?
- by mystify
I tracked down a memory leak with instruments. I always end up with the information that the responsible library is Foundation. When I track that down in my code, I end up here, but there's nothing wrong with my memory management:
- (void)setupTimer {
// stop timer if still there
[self stopAnimationTimer];
NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.2 target:self selector:@selector(step:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
self.animationTimer = timer; // retain property, -release in -dealloc method
}
the property animationTimer is retaining the timer. In -dealloc I -release it.
Now that looks like a framework bug? I checked with iPhone OS 3.0 and 3.1, both have that problem every time I use NSTimer like this. Any idea what else could be the problem?
(my memory leak scan interval was 0.1 seconds. but same thing with 5 seconds)
