Question

Here is my code:

    - (void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];

self.authorList = [[NSArray alloc] 
                   initWithObjects:@"Christie, Agatha", 
                   @"Archer, Jeffrey", nil];

self.title = @"Authors";

}

I am getting memory leak at line where i am allocating and init the array authorlist. I tried to put autorelease on authorlist but it says that “Object sent- autorelease sent too many times”. I am still learning memory management.

Gracias.

The setter method for authorList will retain the array so you need to release it immediately after calling it:

NSArray *list = [[NSArray alloc] 
                initWithObjects:@"Christie, Agatha", 
                @"Archer, Jeffrey", nil];
self.authorList = list;
[list release];

Or you can autorelease it:

self.authorList = [[[NSArray alloc] 
                   initWithObjects:@"Christie, Agatha", 
                   @"Archer, Jeffrey", nil] autorelease];
