Release static int variable

Question

Hello,

How to "clean" static int variables in a view class method? Every time a get back to this view I need those vars "zeroed". The [self.view removeFromSuperview]; instruction does not seem enough to free up memory from those vars.

Thank you. Have a great 2010!

These int vars are declared static in a view method. They are not global in the view class.

You'll have to manually do this by defining a setValue method similar to:

@interface MyClass 
{
  // ...
}
+ (NSString *)myVar;
+ (void)setMyVar:(NSString *)newVa;
@end

@implementation MyClass
static NSString *myVar;
+ (NSString *)myVar { return myVar; }
+ (void)setMyVar:(NSString *)newVar { myVar = newVar; }
@end

If you don't want a static value to stick around, don't make it static.
