[Tutorial Request] Instruments / Debugging / Leak Fixing / Memory Checking

[Stitch]

Guys,

With the iPhone SDK and example code it's very easy to get started and produce some results (either in the simulator or device).

The key however is checking your software is running as best it can so that it doesn't leak memory, become unstable, slow down after a period of use or even crash.

Would one of the more experienced users consider writing a tutorial for debugging / checking software / running traces with the Instruments tools or Xcode debugger?

I think a lot of people would find this useful.
(If you would like to see this tutorial please reply to this thread so people will see)

Thanks

I want to see

[SDKProgrammer]

ive got some leaks but i just dont know how to fix them

[lxLionHartxl]

BUMP.

I will sure look forward for this tutorial. I know how to see a debugger but do not know how to fully utilize it. All the tutorials around shows the basic of using the debuggers, I am looking for something more advanced.

A good way to save time and avoid memory leaks is to use this AutoPropertyRelease class, see example #5:

iOS SDK Example Code

Use this util to automatically release properties of classes. It is a lot easier than manually writing all the lines of a dealloc method. Just try it in your view classes, you will be surprised how many leaks this fixes.
