sending notifications in -dealloc

[Helge Hess]

Hi,

maybe someone has an obvious answer ... This code does work on MacOSX 
and libFoundation, but not on gstep-base:
---snip---
- (void)dealloc {
  ..
  nc = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
  [nc postNotificationName:@"ContextWillDeallocate" object:self];
  ..
  [super dealloc];
}
---snap---

I do this for weak references where I want to notify other observers 
that the context is deallocated (they will reset their non-retained 
pointer) ...

This doesn't work on gstep-base, because the NSNotification created 
retains and afterwards releases the "object:self". This somehow results 
in a duplicate call to -dealloc (because the RC apparently reaches "0" 
twice).

Is anyone aware of differences with regards to RC in -dealloc or has any 
other ideas ?

Greetings
