Title Body

Just found a very strange and unexpected behavior in the UITableView class. I need the last table cell in my section to be a different height from the other cells, so I'm doing basically this: - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { if (indexPath.row == [tableView numberOfRowsInSection:indexPath.section] - 1) return 44; else return 88; //double size for all but the last row } Seems pretty straight-forward, but when I run it, I get an infinite loop and it crashes. I determined that when I call numberOfRowsInSection: , it calls my datasource's tableView: numberOfRowsInSection: method. This makes sense as the tableView's method returns a cached version of the datasource value, so it needs to get the value from the datasource the first time. But then, it calls heightForRowAtIndexPath, passing it indexPath [0, 0] again! And it does this non-stop. I was able to get around it by using [self tableView:tableView numberOfRowsInSection:indexPath.section] instead (calling my datasource method instead of the tableView's method). Anyone have any idea why it does this? Is this defined behavior? Or a bug in Apple's TableView framework?
