That's not an Objective C thing, the language has garbage collection, just it isn't enabled for the mobile platform, for the reason it eats power and memory.
- redstripe 16y agoMy point was that it is possible to have deterministic deallocation without garbage collection. This can be done at compile time. So I don't buy the "eats power" excuse for needing manual memory management.
- gte910h 16y agoNo it's not. For some programs, it is possible to tell, for others, it most certainly is not.
