Removing views from UIScrollView

Using the PhotoScroller example from Apple, to reuse the memory allocated for views, I cannot get the memory released once the retain count hits 0. Here开发者_高级运维 my code for a better understanding: This piece is an extract from PhotoScroller

PhotoViewController.m

- (void)configurePage:(ImageScrollView *)page forIndex:(NSUInteger)index  
{  
    page.index = index;  
    page.frame = [self frameForPageAtIndex:index];  
    [page displayPage:index];  
}

ImageScrollView.h

@interface ImageScrollView : UIView  
{

    UIViewController *vc;
    NSUInteger     index;

}  
@property (assign) NSUInteger index;

- (void)displayPage:(int)indice;

@end

ImageScrollView.m

- (void)dealloc  
{    
 [vc release];  
    [super dealloc];  
}

- (void)displayPage:(int)indice  
{  

     //remove previous view  
     [vc.view removeFromSuperview];  
     [vc release];  
     vc = nil;  
     //NSLog(@"vc retain %i", [vc retainCount]);  

     // make a new viewController for the new page   
     Class clss = NSClassFromString([NSString stringWithFormat:@"page_0%i", indice + 1]);   
     vc = [[clss alloc] initWithNibName:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"page_0%i", indice + 1] bundle:nil];  

     [self addSubview:vc.view];  
}

The classes "page_0x" are UIViewControllers. So far have nothing but a UIImageView on the XIB. An example of page_01:

@implementation page_01

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Overriden to allow any orientation.
    return YES;
}


- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    // Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview.
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];

    // Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}


- (void)viewDidUnload {
    [super viewDidUnload];
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
    // e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}


- (void)dealloc {
    [super dealloc];
}


@end

Memory peaks to 148 MB on device. Gives me a memory warning Level 1, then releases some memory. Goes down to 95 MB. Keeps going up and down.

Perhaps your page_0x view controllers are getting freed, but something they've created isn't. Some things to check:

1. Set a breakpoint in the dealloc method of your page_0x view controllers. Is it getting called?

2. Check all the IBOutlets and other instance variables of your page_0x view controllers. Are they all being released properly in their class's dealloc method?

3. Run Build & Analyze. Does it turn up anything?

4. Try running the Leaks Instrument. It can tell you what kind of objects are actually leaking.

5. (EDIT) Grasping at straws now. You don't have NSZombieEnabled turned on, do you?

6. (EDIT 2) You say you're throwing a .png on it. What happens if you remove that .png?

7. If you're running in the simulator, try it on the device. (See this question.)
