Question

In my viewController.m I have this code:

self.movie = [[myMovie alloc]init];
self.movie.name = @"Iron man 2"; \\this line leaks

…

nameLbl = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30, 20, 200, 20)]; \\this line leaks
nameLbl.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

In viewController.h I have this code:

@interface ViewController : UIViewController

{
    myMovie * movie;

    UILabel * nameLbl;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) myMovie * movie;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UILabel * nameLbl;

And myMovie.h:

{
    NSString* name;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString* name;

myMovie.m:

#import "myMovie.h"

@implementation myMovie
@synthesize name, gross, desc;



-(void) dealloc
{
    self.name = nil;
    self.gross = nil;
    self.desc = nil;

    [super dealloc];
}

@end

Of course this is only the necessary code. I can’t figure out why it is leaking. I don’t know if this is the cause but my application crashes.

Answer 1

The line that’s leaking is the one above: self.movie = [[myMovie alloc]init];

Change it to self.movie = [[[myMovie alloc]init] autorelease]; or add [self.movie release]; as the line immediately afterwards.
