'Photo' objects are leaking

[hisavali]

Hi,

'Photo' objects never get released which results in memory leaks.

'ArrayDataSource' copies block of type 'TableViewCellConfigureBlock'.
I think during this copy of block, 'Photo' instances are copied and retained too.

I put following NSLog statement in Photo which never get printed.

// Photo.m
-(void) dealloc
{
NSLog(@"%s",PRETTY_FUNCTION);
}

In fact, I profiled memory footprint in instruments. It goes like this:

1. I have added 'HomeViewController' as rootviewcontroller of navigation controller. HomeVC has a button 'Launch'. Memory usage till point is 14.4MB.

2. Action on 'Lunch' button will push 'PhotosViewController'. Memory usage after successful loading of 'PhotosViewController' is 17.3MB.

3. 'Back' button in navigation bar, pops 'PhotosViewController' & 'HomeViewController' appears. Memory usage till point is 16.2MB. I was expecting it to be close to 14.3MB

//AppDelegate.M
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
HomeViewController * hmv = [HomeViewController new];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:hmv];
....
}

//HomeViewController.m
-(IBAction) launch:(id)sender
{
PhotosViewController *photosViewController = [[PhotosViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"PhotosViewController"
bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:photosViewController animated:YES];
}

I had major oversight in above observation.
Life of 'Store' (holds 'Photos') is maintained by Application. When 'PhotosViewController' is poped, Photo' objects never deallocated which fine.

Please ignore above comments. Cheers.
