Objective-C中对象加入数组或字典后其retainCount值的变化规律

       创建一个Book实例对象book，分别加入到数组、字典中。

       Book* book = [[Bookalloc]init];

        //array数组

        NSLog(@"before adding to array :%d",book.retainCount);

        NSMutableArray* array = [[NSMutableArrayalloc]initWithCapacity:1];

        [array addObject:book];

        NSLog(@"after adding to array :%d",book.retainCount);

        [array retain];

        NSLog(@"after array retain :%d",book.retainCount);

        [array release];

        [array release];//array引用计数为0,被释放 

        NSLog(@"after array release :%d",book.retainCount);

        //dictionary字典

        NSDictionary* dic = [[NSMutableDictionaryalloc]initWithCapacity:1];

        NSLog(@"before adding to dictionary :%d",book.retainCount);

        [dic setValue:book forKey:@"book"];

        NSLog(@"after adding to dictionary :%d",book.retainCount);

        [dic retain];

        NSLog(@"after dictionary retain :%d",book.retainCount);

        [dic release];

        [dic release];//dic引用计数为0,被释放 

        NSLog(@"after dictionary release :%d",book.retainCount);

       下面是程序打印出的retainCount信息

       2012-07-03 16:08:13.280 Management[7075:13103] before adding to array :1

       2012-07-03 16:08:13.282 Management[7075:13103] after adding to array :2

       2012-07-03 16:08:13.283 Management[7075:13103] after array retain :2

       2012-07-03 16:08:13.283 Management[7075:13103] after array release :1

       2012-07-03 16:08:13.284 Management[7075:13103] before adding to dictionary :1

       2012-07-03 16:08:13.285 Management[7075:13103] after adding to dictionary :2

       2012-07-03 16:08:13.285 Management[7075:13103] after dictionary retain :2

       2012-07-03 16:08:13.286 Management[7075:13103] after dictionary release :1

       从上面的信息可以看出：

       对象在加入array/dictionary时其retainCount值加1（当然，在remove一个对象时，该对象的retainCount值也要对应地减1）；

        array/dictionary自身retain或release不会影响到所包含对象的retainCount值，仅当array/dictionary自身被释放时（retainCount==0）才会调用其包含对象的release方法，使所包含对象的retainCount值减1。
