Question

As the title describes it.

We have an application that atm shows three possible leaks when using the Analyze-tool. Yet there are no leaks what so ever when running the instruments to check for leaks.

Do we have to take care of the false-positives that show up using the Analyze-tool?

EDIT:

    aViewcontroller *anotherViewController = [[aViewcontroller alloc] initWithNibName:@"aViewController" bundle:nil];

    anotherViewController.foo = bar;

    [self.navigationController pushViewController:anotherViewcontroller animated:YES];

    [anotherViewcontroller release];

While not having the release, we get false positives, and if we have the release we get actual leaks while running the instruments.

Answer 1

Leaks wont show leaks unless you perform the absolute exact order of events to reproduce the leak.

Read the code that analyse has pointed out and carefully check what the count should be, its usually pretty good at finding simple issues, but in the event you’re doing something a bit different it may show you some false positives.
