Title
Body
I have read a number of snippets that mention you should never use dot-notation within your init or dealloc methods. However, I can never seem to find out why. One post did mention in passing that it has to do with KVO, but no more. @interface MyClass : NSObject { SomeObject *object_; } @property (nonatomic, retain) SomeObject *object; @end This implementation is bad? @implementation MyClass @synthesize object = object_; - (id)initWithObject:(SomeObject *)object { if (self = [super init]) { self.object = object; } return self; } @end But this is good? @implementation MyClass @synthesize object = object_; - (id)initWithObject:(SomeObject *)object { if (self = [super init]) { object_ = [object retain]; } return self; } @end What are the pitfalls of using dot-notation inside your init?
