Detailed Description
The base class for objects in the Foundation framework.
NXObject extends the functionality of the root Object class by adding support for memory zones, object retention and releasing. All objects that are part of the Foundation framework inherit from this class.
- Examples:
- examples/Application/blink/main.m, examples/Application/gpio/main.m, examples/Application/helloworld/main.m, examples/Application/timer/main.m, examples/Network/ntp/main.m, and examples/Network/scan/main.m.

Method Documentation
◆ allocWithZone:()
Allocates a new instance of an object in a specific memory zone.
- Parameters
-
zone The NXZone in which to allocate the new instance.
- Returns
- A new instance of the receiving class, or nil if the allocation failed.
◆ release()
| - (void) release |
Decreases the retain count of the receiver.
This method is part of the reference counting memory management system. Sending a release message to an object decreases its retain count by one. If the retain count becomes zero, the object is deallocated.
Reimplemented from <RetainProtocol>.
◆ retain()
| - (id) retain |
Increases the retain count of the receiver.
- Returns
- The receiver, with its retain count incremented.
This method is part of the reference counting memory management system. Sending a retain message to an object increases its retain count by one.
Reimplemented from <RetainProtocol>.
