Question

Example:

MyClass *funkStation = [[MyClass alloc] init];
[funkStation dance];
id tmp = funkStation;
...
[funckStation release];

I know that after I’m done with the funkStation object I need to release it, but what about the id tmp?
Am thinking that it’s not a copy of the original object, but just a pointer to the memory space.

Answer 1

tmp and funkstation refer to the same object. You only need to release this object once. Sending release to funkstation and tmp do the same thing.
