Question

I have a doubt that how we will release the instance variables properly.I know we can do the release in the dealloc method. If we are given as self.instancevariouble=nil in the viewdidunload also will release the object. My question is If there is any problem if we are given the object as nil in the unload method and then also release it in the dealloc method. Also how do I need to release a tableview which is added as IBoutlet in the xib.Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

There is no problem with calling release on a nil object but, as a better strategy, move to ARC and most of these concerns will just go away. (Also note that iOS 6 does not unload views.)
