Object sent -autorelease too many times
- by mongeta
I have this code that simple returns Today's date as a string formatted:
+(NSString*) getTodayString_YYYY_MM_DD {
NSDate * today = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];
return [[formatter stringFromDate:today] autorelease];
}
With instruments I'm not getting a memory leak, but when I Analyze, XCode says:
Object sent -autorelease too many times
If I understand correctly, I have to release manually the formatter as I'm creating it using 'alloc', but I can't release here because I have to return the value, so I add the autorelease.
How I can do it better to improve it ?
thanks,
r.
