Core data relationship memory leak
- by cfihelp
I have a strange (to me) memory leak when accessing an entity in a relationship.
Series and Tiles have an inverse relationship to each other.
// set up the fetch request
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Series" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
// grab all of the series in the core data store
NSError *error = nil;
availableSeries = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error]];
[fetchRequest release];
// grab one of the series
Series *currentSeries = [availableSeries objectAtIndex:1];
// load all of the tiles attached to the series through the relationship
NSArray *myTiles = [currentSeries.tile allObjects]; // 16 byte leak here!
Instruments reports back that the final line has a 16 byte leak cause by NSPlaceHolderString.

I think I'm missing something obvious but I can't quite figure out what.
Thanks for your help!
Update: I've copied the offending chunk of code to the first part of applicationDidFinishLaunching and it still leaks. Could there be something wrong with my model?
