I was testing my code and I realized that I was releasing an autoreleased

  • 0

I was testing my code and I realized that I was releasing an autoreleased object but the app did not crash.
So I created a new empty project from scratch with just few lines:

NSArray *array = [NSArray array];
[array release];
[array release];
[array release];
[array release];
...

This does not crash never, nor is marked as zombie object in GDB. If I analyze the code with Product -> Analyze it does not find any errors.

Normally it should crash I think…
I’m testing on Xcode 4.2 with Apple LLVM compiler 3.0 but the same is true with the old gcc 4.2.

Any idea about why it is happening?

Thanks

    It’s a no-op if garbage collection is enabled. I presume, it is.
