[comp.sys.next] Quick question on 'free' method.

davis@groucho.ucar.edu (Glenn P. Davis) (10/04/89)

Suppose I have an object with another object as instance variable:

@interface myObject: Asuperclass
{
   id anotherobject;
   .
   .
}

+new ;
-free ;

@end

I want 'anotherobject' freed at free time.
What should my free method look like?
I guess:

-free
{
	[anotherobject free] ;
	[super free] ;
}

This doesn't fail outright, but I wonder if the [super free] is
being applied to the current object.

Thanks

- free
{
	[anotherobject free];
	self = [super free];
	return self;
}
