[xmlvm-users] memory management (again)

[Panayotis K. <pan...@pa...>]

In the initialization code of UIWindow, there is a [self retain]
I suspect that this is because, after exiting the  
"applicationDidFinishLaunching" method, UIWindow will get released  
(from the autorelease pool).
Although it's a convenient thing and helpful for starters, I believe  
it's a dangerous approach.

if we use more complex systems, like UIViewControllers (hint  
hint :P ), then we don't have just one and we change and replace these  
objects all the time.
So just retaining them like in UIWindow is not really acceptable.

Of course, if we have just a reference of them as a variable, and  
assign the UIWindow there, it's enough.
This is a common practive in UIViewControllers, anyway
But, it's not what it's done, up to now - and it seems like a non- 
uniformality

That's my questioning...

I'll be happy to hear   thoughts about it :)
