Question

I have a property with name bgImage in my custom UITableViewCell class (MyTableCell). Its declared like

@property (nonatomic, retain) UIImageView *bgImage;

in dealloc method of MyTableCell, i release btImage

[bgImage release];
self.bgImage = nil;
[super dealloc];

Now what I do with this bgImage in cellForRowAtIndexPath is that i assign it a autoreleased object

myTableCell.bgImage.image = [Util imageNamedNoCache:@"image.png"];

where imageNamedNoCache returns an autoreleased image.

My problem is that I get EXC_BAD_ACCESS in dealloc method of MyTableCell.
Can anyone please tell me why I am getting this?

Best Regards

You release bgImage twice in dealloc, that’s why you get EXC_BAD_ACCESS.
You release it yourself and it is released in generated setter method when you do self.bgImage = nil;
