NSString property: copy or retain?

Question

Let\'s say I have a class called SomeClass with a string property name:

@interface SomeClass : NSObject
{
    NSString* name;
}

@p         


        

Answer 1

@interface TTItem : NSObject    
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *name;
@end

{
    TTItem *item = [[TTItem alloc] init];    
    NSString *test1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d / %@", 1, @"Go go go"];  
    item.name = test1;  
    NSLog(@"-item.name: point = %p, content = %@; test1 = %p", item.name, item.name, test1);  
    test1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d / %@", 2, @"Back back back"];  
    NSLog(@"+item.name: point = %p, content = %@, test1 = %p", item.name, item.name, test1);
}

Log:  
    -item.name: point = 0x9a805a0, content = 1 / Go go go; test1 = 0x9a805a0  
    +item.name: point = 0x9a805a0, content = 1 / Go go go, test1 = 0x9a84660
