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;
}
