ARC option enabled not fixing memory leak

Question

My project does support ARC:

enter image description here

But when i run the Xcode Analyzer, Product/Analyze, i still get memory leak such:

Potential leak of an object allocated on line xx and stored into 'xxx'.

I mean, isn't the ARC supposed to fix suck release issues? or i have to add the release/autorelease by myself?

Are you using the 'new lifetime qualifiers' such as 'strong' and 'weak'? — GoZoner, Jun 06 '12 at 02:02
@Hot Liks: I am not checking ARC from when i created my project, but now i am enabling it from the project settings. ISn't enough to support retain/release ? — Luca, Jun 06 '12 at 02:08

Make sure your files don't have -fno-objc-arc in linker flags. This excludes them from ARC. An easy way to check is to try releasing an object in your code, if you get a red line through the release call then the file is using ARC, xcode won't let you have any release calls in a file with ARC enabled.

Hi, Thanx a lot for your clarifications, actually, i tried release an object but i don't get any error, this is making things confusing to me. – Luca Jun 06 '12 at 02:39
