Objective-C autorelease pool not releasing object
- by Chris
Hi
I am very new to Objective-C and was reading through memory management. I was trying to play around a bit with the NSAutoreleasePool but somehow it wont release my object.
I have a class with a setter and getter which basically sets a NSString *name. After releasing the pool I tried to NSLog the object and it still works but I guess it should not?
@interface TestClass : NSObject
{
NSString *name;
}
- (void) setName: (NSString *) string;
- (NSString *) name;
@end
@implementation TestClass
- (void) setName: (NSString *) string
{
name = string;
}
- (NSString *) name
{
return name;
}
@end
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
TestClass *var = [[TestClass alloc] init];
[var setName:@"Chris"];
[var autorelease];
[pool release];
// This should not be possible?
NSLog(@"%@",[var name]);
return 0;
}
