iOS目标C中的内存管理

Question

I am new to iOS and objective-C and although I've been struggling for a while to understand memory management I am disappointed in myself because I still have to get the full picture... My problem is that I do not understand how retaining a property of an object relates with retaining the whole object. Let's take the following code as an example:

@interface TestObject:NSObject {   //TestObject declaration
  NSNumber *firstNumber;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSNumber *firstNumber;

@end

@synthesize firstNumber;

-(void) dealloc  //Use standard synthesized getter and setter, write only custom
                 //dealloc                  
{
[firstNumber release];
}

...and the following code that uses it:

-(IBAction) runClicked: (id) sender  
{
TestObject *to1=[[TestObject alloc ] init];
to1.firstNumber=[NSNumber numberWithInt:10];  //retain count 1 on firstnumber
NSNumber *num=[to1.firstNumber retain]; //retain count 2 on firstnumber
[to1 release]; //retain count 1 on firstnumber because of 1 release in dealloc
}

I ran an analyze on the code and also ran the program with Leak instrument and no leaks were found by either. Isn't there a leak on firstnumber (accessible by num after main object release) since the number will not be usable by any pointer after *num is also destroyed at the end of function body?

Thank you so much for your time! Best regards, Florin.

不，没有泄漏，因为第一个数字是自动释放的对象。
