NSAutoreleasePool



Any idea why i get these messages -





"NSAutoreleasePool is unavailable: not available in automatic reference counting mode"





"ARC forbids explicit message send of 'release' "





import





int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {







NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);

[pool release];

return retVal;







}

  1. This is because you are compiling with Automatic Reference Counting on. You need to use a different construct with ARC:

    @autoreleasepool {
    // Your code
    }


    Another option is to turn off ARC for a specific file.

  2. Yeah, you have Automatic Reference Counting enabled, which doesn't allow you to explicitly use 'release'. You need to either disable ARC or change your main method to look like this:

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    @autoreleasepool {
    return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));
    }
    }

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
