Do I need to override dealloc here?

[dharr19]

Hi Stephen,

Don't I need to override dealloc and release name in this short program

Code: (Objective-C)

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@interface test: NSObject
{
    NSString *name;
    
}
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *name;

@end

@implementation test

@synthesize name;

@end

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{

    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    test *myTest = [[test alloc] init];
    NSMutableString *myString = [NSMutableString stringWithString:@"hello"];
    
    myTest.name = myString;
     
    [myString appendString:@"goodbye"];
    
    NSLog(@"myString = %@",myString);
    NSLog(@"name = %@",[myTest name]);
    
    [myTest release];
    [pool drain];
    return 0;
}

Any help is appreciated
Cheers
David

Yes, because you use the copy attribute on the property, you would normally want to override dealloc here to release name.
