A class for managing autorelease pools.
Autorelease pools provide a way to defer sending release messages to objects. When an autorelease pool is drained, it sends a release message to all objects that have been added to it. This is particularly useful in loops where many temporary objects are created.
Definition at line 22 of file NXAutoreleasePool.h.
| - (void) addObject: | (id) | object |
Adds an object to the autorelease pool.
| object | The object to be added to the pool. This object will be sent a release message when the pool is deallocated. |
| + (id) currentPool |
The current autorelease pool.
This variable holds the current autorelease pool that is being used. It is automatically set when an autorelease pool is created.
