Question

This is a (very) simplified version of my iPhone code :

@interface x {
NSString * name1;
NSString * name2;
}

-init {
name1 = @””;
name2 = @””;
}

-(void) a {
Foo * foo = [Foo alloc];
name1 = @”uhuh”;
name2 = [foo bar]; // return a (NSString *)
[foo release];
}

-(void) b {
NSLog(@”%@”, name1); // it works
NSLog(@”%@”, name2); // there I get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS…
}

Why I have this problem ? And how can I solve it ?
Thanks !

Edit: I juste solve the problème, I forgot a “retain”…

Answer 1

I was getting an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error yesterday. It turned out I was calling release on an object which resulted in it being deleted, then I tried to use it.

You’re not calling release on anything you’re not supposed to are you?

Just a friendly reminder: if you don’t call alloc or retain on an object, you don’t call release. With the code you have provided, it doesn’t appear this is the problem. But I wanted to point this out just in case.
