I am doing deep copies of NSMutableDictionary with this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5453600/555690
Like this:
NSMutableDictionary *myCopy = [originalMutableDictionary mutableDeepCopy];
Do I have to release myCopy?
I’m assuming you’re not using ARC. The answer should be “yes” since it’s created with copy. See the NARC rules here:
Do you need to release parameters of methods at the end of them in Objective-C?
In that particular code, the
retis created usingdictionaryWithObjectsso it would already be autoreleased, but then there’s an extraretainthat’s called explicitly. So the answer is… still “yes,” which follows the ownership policy.
