NSThread and memory management
- by misfit153
Imagine I create and execute an NSThread object using detachNewThreadSelector:toTarget:withObject:. The method executed by the thread might look like this:
- (void)search {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
// perform a lengthy search here.
[pool release];
}
I then might use the cancel method to kill the thread while it's running, before the pool gets released. What happens to the NSAutoreleasePool object? I suppose it will leak, won't it?
