Question about memory usage
- by sudo rm -rf
Hi there.
I have the following method:
+(NSMutableDictionary *)getTime:(float)lat :(float)lon {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSMutableDictionary *dictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[dictionary setObject:hour forKey:@"hour"];
[dictionary setObject:minute forKey:@"minute"];
[dictionary setObject:ampm forKey:@"ampm"];
return dictionary;
}
A lot of the method is chopped off, so I think I need the pool for some other stuff in the method. Here's my question. I know that I need to release the following objects:
[dictionary release];
[pool release];
However, I can't release the dictionary before I return it, but as soon as I return it the rest of the method isn't performed. What should I do?
