Releasing NSManagedObjects and reset in NSManagedObjectContext

[bytor99999]

I was hoping this was going to reduce my memory footprint but it didn't seem to happen.

So I have an NSManagedObjectContext that has some NSManagedObjects in it. I call reset and expect all the NSManagedObjects to be released. I am not holding any reference to them at the point I call reset. The count of NSManagedObjects in the NSManagedObjectContext goes to 0. My state holder object which did have references is also showing 0 in the NSMutableArray I was using to hold them.

In instruments is there a way that after your app starts you can find an instance of a particular object, see the retain count, and just for that one object and not seeing every instance in the heap. Do I have to know the "0x3h2k48j" of the instance to follow it?

Thanks

Nevermind, reset did all that I needed. My leak was in a button on my view in a table that was leaking. If you set the buttons image it leaks, if you set that image to the backgroundImage it doesn't leak. Same image and all, all set up in Interface Builder.
