我假设NSArrayController's addObject 和 removeObject 的工作方式类似于 NSMutableArray 中的类似物。
但是，看起来 addObject 将其目标对象的引用计数增加了 3，而NSArrayController:removeObject将目标的引用计数仅减少了 1，留下了 2 的差异，这导致了我的代码中的内存泄漏。
NSArrayController *ac = [[NSArrayController alloc] init];
NSMutableArray *ma = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:3];
Custom *obj = [[Custom alloc] init];
NSLog(@"Initial: %lu", [obj retainCount]);
[ma addObject:obj];
NSLog(@"After NSMutableArray:addObject: %lu", [obj retainCount]);
[ma removeObject:obj];
NSLog(@"After NSMutableArray:removeObject: %lu", [obj retainCount]);
[ac addObject:obj];
NSLog(@"After NSArrayController:addObject: %lu", [obj retainCount]);
[ac removeObject:obj];
NSLog(@"After NSArrayController:removeObject: %lu", [obj retainCount]);
[obj release];
NSLog(@"End: %lu", [obj retainCount]);
我期望看到的：
2013-02-10 23:11:22.344 Demo[27208:303] Initial: 1
2013-02-10 23:11:22.345 Demo[27208:303] After NSMutableArray:addObject: 2
2013-02-10 23:11:22.345 Demo[27208:303] After NSMutableArray:removeObject: 1
2013-02-10 23:11:22.345 Demo[27208:303] After NSArrayController:addObject: 2
2013-02-10 23:11:22.345 Demo[27208:303] After NSArrayController:removeObject: 1
2013-02-10 23:11:22.345 Demo[27208:303] End: 0
我实际看到的：
2013-02-10 23:11:22.344 Demo[27208:303] Initial: 1
2013-02-10 23:11:22.345 Demo[27208:303] After NSMutableArray:addObject: 2
2013-02-10 23:11:22.345 Demo[27208:303] After NSMutableArray:removeObject: 1
2013-02-10 23:11:22.345 Demo[27208:303] After NSArrayController:addObject: 4
2013-02-10 23:11:22.345 Demo[27208:303] After NSArrayController:removeObject: 3
2013-02-10 23:11:22.345 Demo[27208:303] End: 2
我只是使用NSArrayController不正确吗？
编辑
以下是 Instruments 的结果。Instruments 说该对象最终会进入一个自动释放池，最终会被 ArrayController 耗尽。据我了解，自动释放池在运行循环结束时被耗尽。但是我的dealloc方法永远不会在我的演示代码中被调用，即使我手动添加了一个NSAutoreleasePool并耗尽它。

代码
[ma addObject:obj];
NSLog(@"After NSMutableArray:addObject: %lu", [obj retainCount]);
[ma removeObject:obj];
