Does NSArray initWithObjects: retain objects?

Question

When adding objects to an NSArray using \"initWithObjects\" can anyone confirm for me that the items are retained. I am pretty sure they are, but can\'t find it mentioned anywhe

Answer 1

initWithObjects retains all items in the array.

initWithObjects: count:

• (id) initWithObjects: (id*)objects count: (NSUInteger)count; Availability: OpenStep

This is a designated initialiser for the class. Subclasses must override this method. This should initialize the array with count (may be zero) objects. Retains each object placed in the array. Calls -init (which does nothing but maintain MacOS-X compatibility), and needs to be re-implemented in subclasses in order to have all other initialisers work.
