Sometimes I need to find out if an object will really be released. I could use Instruments of course, but that takes much time, and I have to search into millions of objects, so I used to do this:
-(void)release {
NSLog("I'm released");
[super release];
}
But the problem is: is this safe to do? Can I get any problems when I override -(void)release
. Also, is it really void
? And what if I build my application for distribution, but per accident leave it there? Or is it just safe? Thanks
