A Simple Objective C xcode Memory Management Question

In the code below, will tapsLable.text be deallocated when tapsMessage is released or does the assignment operator somehow increment the retain count so that tapsLabel.text continues to be available? NSString *tapsMessage = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d taps detected", numTaps]; tapsLabel.text = tapsMessage; // tapsLabel is a UI...

The current way to release memory from a UIScrollview with many images

Dear Scholars. I am generating a simple scrollView with some images attached to buttons. This works fine apart from the fact that this scroll view is taking rather much memory. Since this scrollView is just a sub Menu allowing the user to pick an image and soon after I do not need it, I would like to free this heavy block from memory. ...

Can I leave logging in Release builds?

I've read this question which advocates taking NSLog statements out of Release builds. Is it acceptable to, instead of cluttering the main log up with junk, write it to Apple System Log instead, then it'd be hidden from the main log? Or am I just overcomplicating things? Are there any instances where logging has been useful to you in p...

I have noticed that if i don't explicitly call mvn clean ... the deployed EAR will have BOTH UAT and PROD jars.

Why I do not get line numbers in exception stack trace if I have PDB and symbols loaded?

Hello, I have a solution with several projects. The solution is in Release mode with no optimization and with pdb files generated. While running Unit Tests i get exceptions but the stack trace does not contains the line numbers. At the modules window I can see that the current assembly is not optimized and that it has symbols loaded. J...

How can I get an NSNumber without performing alloc on it, so it will respond to initWithInt?

My understanding is that a 'convenience' method such as [nsnumber initWithInt] should create a copy of the indicated class, initialized to the desired value. minutesLeft=[NSNumber initWithInt:((timeLeft)%60)]; Timeleft is an integer, so initWithInt should be working, and the result should be that minutesLeft (a property set to retain)...

Maven scm:checkin "Resource is out of sync with the file system:" error

I'm trying to get the Maven release plugin working with a Jazz.net source control system and Rational Application Developer (RAD, based on Eclipse), but I seem to have run into a catch-22 - I expect I've misunderstood something. So - I'm working on the command-line in the project directory that has the .pom file. I have to shut RAD down...

I made a somewhat large PHP application to handle automated queries for any site (plugged into their existing site structure), it was more of a "challenge" with a reward in the end open to anyone. I put quite a few days into it, I don't want to be mean but I see all the time things like this copyrighted by people. What would be any bene...

Build mode is always debug

I have a ASP.NET application that I am trying to build in release mode, but upon inspection (Assembly Information) it is always showing up in debug mode. I've also changed the Web.config entry to specify that the compilation mode should not be debug, but still no luck. Does anyone have any ideas how to get my build into release mode? ...

Is it bad practice to leave commented-out code in production releases

I regularly see production code from developers (large companies and individuals) that contains code that has been commented out. Presumably this removes earlier attempts at achieving the functionality that didn't work for some reason. To my mind, this is messy, but potentially has some benefits e.g. on returning to refactor or extend...

How to properly release assigned object with no handle.

Instruments is pointing out that this is a memory leak, however I'm unsure how to release it properly, or when it should be released. Is there a better convention for assigning properties with new objects that are only needed inside a loop? The specific line is the "expense.addedDate = [NSDate new];". - (void) addObjects:(NSString *)it...

maven release plugin - wagon fails with ssh auth but snapshort and release deploy works - eh?

I'm baffled and would appreciate any help. My build machine can no longer use the maven release plugin. When I try it fails on auth during the deployment from the tag.
