Question

Is there a memory leaks when I set an attribut in this way :

titleView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 300, 5)];

And is there a difference with

UIWebView *newWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 300, 5)];
[self setTitleView:newWebView];
[newWebView release];

Thanks,

EDIT :
I’m releasing the titleView in the dalloc function

Answer 1

Assuming you have a property called titleView.

@property (retain) titleView

First one leaks, unless you release it on dealloc (but beware if you are assigning it more than once)

correct one should be:

self.titleView =  [[[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 300, 5)] autorelease];

it is always good practice to use self.propertyName as it also releases the old value.
