Under non-ARC, 99% of the cases you should not override the release method.
I have seen only 1 case that the need to override the release method – a kind of singleton, which forces the class have really 1 single instance no matter how many times you call alloc.
That way override not only the
releasemethod, but alsoallowWithZone:,retain, ‘retainCount`, etc. (It is actually not common to implement that kind of singleton)
