objective-c releasing uninitialized class members in dealloc method
- by Dude Man
Regarding over-releasing. Say I have a instance variable defined in Test.h
NSString *mystring;
In my implementation Test.m I do not initialize the variable mystring anywhere. But I release it in dealloc:
-(void)dealloc {
[mystring release];
}
Is this now over-released? I've been doing the following in dealloc to avoid any issues, however, is this really necessary?
-(void)dealloc {
if (mystring) [mystring release];
}
It seems that [nil release] shouldn't do anything, can someone verify this with class members?
