Question

This is how I switch views in my app:

CGRect frame = self.view.frame;
    frame.origin.x = CGRectGetMaxX(frame);
    ViewController *view2 = [[[ViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
    view2.view.frame = frame;
    [self.view.superview addSubview:view2.view];    
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.4 
                     animations:^{
                         CGRect frame = self.view.frame;
                         view2.view.frame = frame;
                         frame.origin.x -= frame.size.width;
                         self.view.frame = frame;
                     }
                     completion:^(BOOL finished){
                         [self.view removeFromSuperview];
                     }];

The problem is, is that my dealloc is not getting called. Any ideas why and how can I fix this?

Thanks!

Is this code in a view controller (it looks like it is)? If so, it makes sense removing your view would not cause the view controller itself to be released – someone else is retaining that. It’s the same thing that happens during a memory warning when your view is unloaded, but not your view controller…

Basically, what dealloc are you expecting to be called?
