Hi, in my application, a RSS reader, I get memory leaks that I can't fix because I can't understand from where they come from. Here is the code pointed out by Instruments. -(void) readArticlesFromDatabase { [self setDatabaseInfo]; sqlite3 *database; articles = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; if(sqlite3_open([databasePath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) { const char *sqlStatement = "select * from articles"; if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sqlStatement, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) { while(sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW) { NSString *aName = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 1)]; NSString *aDate = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 2)]; NSString *aUrl = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 3)]; NSString *aCategory = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 4)]; NSString *aAuthor = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 5)]; NSString *aSummary = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 6)]; NSMutableString *aContent = [NSMutableString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 7)]; NSString *aNbrComments = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 8)]; NSString *aCommentsLink = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 9)]; NSString *aPermalink = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 11)]; [aContent replaceCharactersInRange: [aContent rangeOfString: @"http://www.mywebsite.com/img/action-on.gif"] withString: @"hellocoton-action-on.gif"]; [aContent replaceCharactersInRange: [aContent rangeOfString: @"hhttp://www.mywebsite.com/img/action-on-h.gif"] withString: @"hellocoton-action-on-h.gif"]; [aContent replaceCharactersInRange: [aContent rangeOfString: @"hthttp://www.mywebsite.com/img/hellocoton.gif"] withString: @"hellocoton-hellocoton.gif"]; NSString *imageURLBrut = [self parseArticleForImages:aContent]; NSString *imageURLCache = [imageURLBrut stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@":" withString:@"_"]; imageURLCache = [imageURLCache stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"/" withString:@"_"]; imageURLCache = [imageURLCache stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"_"]; NSString *uniquePath = [tmp stringByAppendingPathComponent: imageURLCache]; if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath: uniquePath]) { imageURLCache = [@"../tmp/" stringByAppendingString: imageURLCache]; [aContent replaceCharactersInRange: [aContent rangeOfString: imageURLBrut ] withString: imageURLCache]; } Article *article = [[Article alloc] initWithName:aName date:aDate url:aUrl category:aCategory author:aAuthor summary:aSummary content:aContent commentsNbr:aNbrComments commentsLink:aCommentsLink commentsRSS:@"" enclosure:aPermalink enclosure2:@"" enclosure3:@""]; [articles addObject:article]; article = nil; [article release]; } } sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement); } sqlite3_close(database); } ` I have a lot of "Article" leaked and NSString matching with these using : [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, X)]; I tried a lot of different code I always have these leaks. Anyone has got an idea to help me?
