What Does This NSZombie Error Message Mean? - iphone

Question

I turned zombies on because I was getting some crashes. Now I' getting this error in console. Does anyone know what it means?

Update, this method is in another viewController. Could this be causing the problem?
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
NSString *selectedRow = [[self.exerciseArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:#"exerciseName"];
NSLog(#"Row Selected: %#", selectedRow);
RoutineDayTableViewController *routineDayTableViewController=[self.navigationController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:([self.navigationController.viewControllers count] -3)];
routineDayTableViewController.selectedExercise = selectedRow;
[routineDayTableViewController addExercise];
[routineDayTableViewController release];
[self dismissView];
}
and here is another method in yet another viewController that access this class:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
RoutineDayTableViewController *detailViewController = [[RoutineDayTableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RoutineDayTableViewController" bundle:nil];
NSManagedObject *managedObject = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
detailViewController.title = [[managedObject valueForKey:#"name"] description];
detailViewController.theSelectedRoutine = [__fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath: indexPath];
NSLog(#"detailViewController.theSelectedRoutine:%#",detailViewController.theSelectedRoutine);
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
[detailViewController release];
}

Answer 1

The error message means that you are sending a message to an object whose retain count went to zero and was subsequently deallocated. Based on your code snippet, I think your problem is this code -
RoutineDayTableViewController *routineDayTableViewController=[self.navigationController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:([self.navigationController.viewControllers count] -3)];
routineDayTableViewController.selectedExercise = selectedRow;
[routineDayTableViewController addExercise];
[routineDayTableViewController release];
The release call here looks suspicious. You are releasing something you haven't alloced here.
Have you run static analyzer on your code? It is helpful in detecting bugs of this kind.

Answer 2

The instance of the class RoutineDayTableViewController is the problem, so it's not likely in the code you posted here.
Check the code where you use this class.
It may help you to build using the Analyse option, this often detects the problem.

Answer 3

There are some place where the instance of RoutineDayTableViewController class is release and after that you are trying to access it.
If you want to check , Please don't release that object and try to run.
