| Hi Folks,
I have been using GNUstep Foundation for a while as a portable platform base for Linux, Darwin and OS X/Darwin. It works very well - up until now, I haven't found a bug, and technically, I still haven't!
This is unfortunate as the Apple version of -[NSAutoreleasePool drain] calls [-NSAutoreleasePool release] for non-garbage collected environments, and is encouraged by Apple as an alternative to -[NSAutoreleasePool release] in all their example and other source code as it behaves correctly in Garbage Collected and non-Garbage Collected environments. Apple's and GNUstep's -[NSAutoreleasePool release] behave similarly - a no-op for Garbage Collected environments and release the NSAutoreleasePool in non-Garbage Collected environments.
May I humbly suggest that GNUstep's -[NSAutoreleasePool drain] is updated to behave exactly like Apple's - IE to call -[NSAutoreleasePool release] in non-Garbage Collected environments? This is easy to work around, but I expect that I won't be the first to fail to notice the difference! If this has come up before, and been voted down, I'll understand. But searching the archives for |
