Doubt regarding the Xcode Leaks Instrument

Question

Hi all,

I have written an app and was testing it for mem leaks when I noticed that that 'all allocations' category in the leaks simulator keeps increasing its size whenever I open and close a sub-view.

I intially thought it was a mem leak . But it does not show up as a leak in the leaks tab.

Is this normal?? I am attaching a screenshot of the simulator .

Answer 1

That would make sense would it not? Every time you do something in the app, something is probably allocated such as your different subviews. Therefore total allocations will increase.It's just a record of the total allocations.
