NSObject autoreleasedCopy

I got tired of typing [[something copy] autorelease]. Too many brackets for such a basic operation.

And Yes, I know it violates the naming rules - somehow I can’t see any confusion arising with the “autoreleased” prefix.

-------------- Interface -------------

(HKNSObjectAutoreleasedCopy.h)

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface NSObject(AutoreleasedCopy)

- (id) autoreleasedCopy;

- (id) autoreleasedMutableCopy;

@end

-------------- Implementation -------------

#import "HKNSObjectAutoreleasedCopy.h"

@implementation NSObject(AutoreleasedCopy)

- (id) autoreleasedCopy

{

     return [[self copy] autorelease];

}

- (id) autoreleasedMutableCopy

{

     return [[self mutableCopy] autorelease];

}

@end
