memory management question -- releasing an object which has to be returned
- by ulag
Hi,
I have an NSMutableArray called playlist. This is in a method called getAllPlaylists. The code is something like this:
-(NSMutableArray *)getAllPlaylists
{
//playlist is an instance variable
playlist = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; //memory leak here
.
.
//some code here which populates the playlist array
[playlist addObject: object1];
.
.
return playlist;
}
The array allocation step of playlist is causing a memory leak. In such a scenario where can i release this array? Or can i avoid allocation n initialization of playlist here by doing something else?
