Why are my objects changing unexpectedly?

Question

I\'ve got a very basic example where I\'m reading some data into a class from JSON, and my objects are getting corrupted somehow. I suspect I\'m missing some detail about how pr

Answer 1

The answer is simple, you defined NSArray *_references as a static variable not as a private variable. To do that

@implementation ANBNote{
    NSArray * _references;
}

In addition to this as of Xcode 4 you do not have to define _references object in the implementation file. You may just set a variable in the header file and then access its private accessor by just typing _ before the name of it.

For instance

@interface ANBNote
@property(strong , nonatomic) NSArray *references;
@end

@implementation ANBNote

-(id) initWithArray:(NSArray *) ar{
    if(self)
        _references = [NSArray arrayWithArray:ar];
    return self;
}

@end
