Я изо всех сил пытаюсь понять, когда и что я должен выпустить в Cocoa Touch, поскольку в нем нет сборки мусора.
Этот блок кода взят из примера PeriodicElements от apple iphone, и они выпускают anElement и rawElementArray, но не thePath, firstLetter, existsArray и tempArray?
Я бы подумал, что хотя бы tempArray и существующий массив должны быть освобождены.
Может кто-нибудь умный объяснит мне, почему?
Спасибо :)
