How to deallocate an EAGLView instance

[nosuic]

Hello all,

I create an instance object and want to deallocate it. Since I cannot straightly call its dealloc method, I call its release function but using breakpoint I can see its dealloc function is never called. I checked then the retainCount of my instance and it's 3 ! What should I do then? I tried the silly solutions of calling release more than once by ended with an EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION. How can I deallocate this instance ??

The object I want deallocated is glView:

glView = [[EAGLView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(rect.origin.x, rect.origin.y, rect.size.width, rect.size.height)];
[self.view addSubview:glView];
int x = (int)[glView retainCount]; // 3!
[glView release];


Thank you!

int j = [glView retainCount];
for(int i=0; i<j; i++)
	[glView release];

Or: don't retain the render view.

Has this ever worked for you? Because for me crashed my application.

Well the solution was that the 2 owners of my object who I didn't know, came from the animation and the view. So I stopped the animation, removed the subview and then released my instance and it worked well.

Since you've added it as a subView, you need to remove it first, probably with [glView removeFromSuperview]; If you manage to get it to dealloc while it's still a subView, I would imagine that would crash the program.

Yes, so that's what I already said I did:
