  1. INSTRUMENTS: LEAKS Trevor Brown Triangle CocoaHeads September 2012

  2. What are leaks? How can we detect them? How can

    we prevent them? Q&A Resources

  3. Memory that... has been consumed (allocated), is no longer needed,

    but cannot be returned to the OS for reuse or accessed by the program that allocated it. Is there a problem with that? Waste of resources Slowdown (unresponsive) Unexpected shutdown by OS WHAT ARE LEAKS? (and why they’re bad)

  4. HOW CAN WE DETECT LEAKS? Static Analyzer (Xcode) Instruments Code

    review

  5. Launch your app with the profiler

  6. None
  7. None
  8. None
  9. None
  10. None

  11. Random audience member: “Thanks for the total waste of time,

    Trevor. I use ARC. Like, all the time. Wow... Um, beer, anyone?”

  12. RETAIN CYCLE

  13. Object A Object B RETAIN CYCLE

  14. None

  15. LEAK PREVENTION Use ARC (convert) Avoid retain cycles (no strong-strong

    relationships) Handle low-memory warnings from the OS Run the static analyzer

  16. QUESTIONS?

  17. RESOURCES Performing static code analysis Instruments User Guide ARC transition

    notes

  18. THANK YOU!
