Comment on 10 iPhone Memory Management Tips by Adrian Kosmaczewski

Thanks for your comment Uli.

This article was written back in the times of iPhone OS 2.x, and back then (I don’t know if it’s still the case now) I could avoid application crashes just by adding this stub code on my UIViewController instances, as if the runtime was asking them some kind of “respondsToSelector” question at some point. And apparently I wasn’t the only who saw that (http://akos.ma/5nc). This might have changed since the release of iPhone OS 3.x. I don’t know. I still add the code (sometimes, of course, with more extended behaviour).

By the way, “for all I know”, your argument that “If it’s not implemented *at all* your call to super will fail (and will cause a compile-time warning)”, looks to me “pointless and wrong”, too. I’ve never seen such a thing, and I know something about it thanks to systematically turning warnings into errors http://akos.ma/g2vlx

Cheers!

Could you elaborate why you think it would be any use to implement didReceiveMemoryWarning the way you state here? Calling super and doing nothing else is exactly the same as not implementing it. If it’s not implemented *at all* your call to super will fail (and will cause a compile-time warning).

So, for all I know, this is pointless and wrong. Do you have any referenceson the web somewhere that indicate that the OS actually looks only at the subclass’s method list and makes you crash if it’s not implemented there, even though it’s implemented farther up in the hierarchy?

oops… ignore last comment – just noticed UIKit only – not AppKit

Thanks for the comments Alan! I’m working on the next version, with the integration of the next [REDACTED] SDK stay tuned.

Seems that IB 3.2.2 breaks nib2obj. I’m getting only:
[view90 addSubview:view93]; [view90 addSubview:view98]; [view90 addSubview:view99];
etc. Great app, though!

I agree with you. Were getting launched into a new era of communication. A new era of computing. No more mouses or keyboards

For better performance don’t use UITextField in XIBs. And create them by yourself.
