NSRunLoop

A run loop is an abstraction that (among other things) provides a mechanism to handle system input sources (sockets, ports, files, keyboard, mouse, timers, etc).

Each NSThread has its own run loop, which can be accessed via the currentRunLoop method.

In general, you do not need to access the run loop directly, though there are some (networking) components that may allow you to specify which run loop they will use for I/O processing.

A run loop for a given thread will wait until one or more of its input sources has some data or event, then fire the appropriate input handler(s) to process each input source that is "ready.".

After doing so, it will then return to its loop, processing input from various sources, and "sleeping" if there is no work to do.

ARC concepts

ARC

Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) is a compiler feature that provides automatic memory management of

Objective-C objects. Rather than having to think about retain and release operations, ARC allows you to

concentrate on the interesting code, the object graphs, and the relationships between objectsin your application

   ARC works by adding code at compile time to ensure that objects live as long as necessary, but no longer.

Conceptually, it follows the same memory management conventions as manual reference counting by adding the appropriate memory management

calls for you.

- (void)contrived {

Person *aPerson = [[Person alloc] init];

[aPerson setFirstName:@"William"];

[aPerson setLastName:@"Dudney"];

[aPerson setYearOfBirth:[[NSNumber alloc] initWithInteger:2011]];

NSLog(@"aPerson: %@", aPerson);

}

ARC takes care of memory management so that neither the Person nor the NSNumber objects are leaked.

->You cannot explicitly invoke dealloc, or implement or invoke retain, release, retainCount, or

autorelease.

The prohibition extends to using @selector(retain), @selector(release), and so on.

->You cannot use NSAllocateObject or NSDeallocateObject.

->You cannot use object pointers in C structures.

->● You cannot use NSAutoreleasePool objects.

ARC provides @autoreleasepool blocks instead. These have an advantage of being more efficient than

NSAutoreleasePool.

->● You cannot use memory zones.

There is no need to use NSZone any more—they are ignored by the modern Objective-C runtime anyway.

->You cannot give an accessor a name that begins with new. This in turn means that you can’t, for example,

declare a property whose name begins with new unless you specify a different getter:

->The keywords weak and strong are introduced as new declared property attributes, asshown in the following

examples.

->// The following declaration is a synonym for: @property(retain) MyClass *myObject;

@property(strong) MyClass *myObject;

->// The following declaration is similar to "@property(assign) MyClass *myObject;"

// except that if the MyClass instance is deallocated,

// the property value is set to nil instead of remaining as a dangling pointer.

@property(weak) MyClass *myObject;

->Under ARC, strong is the default for object types

VariableQualifiers

__strong

__weak

__unsafe_unretained

__autoreleasing

 ● __strong is the default. An object remains “alive” as long as there is a strong pointer to it.

 ● __weak specifies a reference that does not keep the referenced object alive. A weak reference is set to

nil when there are no strong references to the object.

Transitioning to ARC Release Notes

ARC Overview

 ● __unsafe_unretained specifies a reference that does not keep the referenced object alive and is not

set to nil when there are no strong references to the object. If the object it references is deallocated, the

pointer is left dangling.

 ● __autoreleasing is used to denote argumentsthat are passed by reference (id *) and are autoreleased

on return.

Eg:

NSString * __weak string = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"First Name: %@",

[self firstName]];

NSLog(@"string: %@", string);

Although string is used after the initial assignment, there is no other strong reference to the string object

at the time of assignment; it is therefore immediately deallocated. The log statement shows that string has

a null value. (The compiler provides a warning in this situation.)

Eg 2:

NSError *error;

BOOL OK = [myObject performOperationWithError:&error];

if (!OK) {

// Report the error.

// ...

However, the error declaration is implicitly:

NSError * __strong e;

and the method declaration would typically be:

-(BOOL)performOperationWithError:(NSError * __autoreleasing *)error;

The compiler therefore rewrites the code:

NSError * __strong error;

NSError * __autoreleasing tmp = error;

BOOL OK = [myObject performOperationWithError:&tmp];

error = tmp;

if (!OK) {

// Report the error.

// ...

The mismatch between the local variable declaration (__strong) and the parameter (__autoreleasing)

causesthe compiler to create the temporary variable. You can get the original pointer by declaring the parameter

id __strong * when you take the address of a __strong variable. Alternatively you can declare the variable

as __autoreleasing.

Patterns for Managing Outlets Become Consistent Across Platforms

The patterns for declaring outlets in iOS and OS X change with ARC and become consistent across both

platforms. The pattern you should typically adopt is: outletsshould be weak, except for those from File’s Owner

to top-level objects in a nib file (or a storyboard scene) which should be strong

Stack Variables Are Initialized with nil

Using ARC,strong, weak, and autoreleasing stack variables are now implicitly initialized with nil. For example:

- (void)myMethod {

NSString *name;

NSLog(@"name: %@", name);

}

will log null for the value of name rather than perhaps crashing.

git status

git commit -m "first commit"

git commit -a -m "made some change"

git branch

git commit --amend //This will merge the new commit to the existing commit.

git checkout --<file name> //This will revert the changes we did in the file to the last commit state.

git config --global user.name "radha"  //Changing the User Name
git config user.name    //To Display the User NAME



git branch  //list all branches

git branch test  //new branch

git checkout test //switch branch

git checkout -b test  //single cmd to do above 2 commands

git merge newBranch //wen ever ur merging have to go to current branch and then merge

git branch -d newBranch  //deleting the branch

git remote -v  // tp show remote url

git remote add [short name]  [url]  //add more repositories

Fork a Repository:

   ●  This feature of GitHub allows us to make a mutable copy of a read only public repository into our own GitHub repository and work with it. 

• ●  This feature also allows us to stay in sync with the original repository by simple git pull/ git fetch commands.
