Is there anything wrong with doing something like
NSString * string = [ [ NSString alloc ] init ];
...
[ string release ];
or is there any value (other than best practice) in also adding
string = nil;
?
Not necessary, but good practice. If you were to inadvertently reference it after release, bad things could happen, but in Objective C there isn’t any harm in referencing a nil.
