Auto-release Pools and Background Threads
Regarding Objective-C programming for MAC OS X and IOS: (from https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/Articles/mmAutoreleasePools.html ) Cocoa always expects there to be an autorelease pool available. If a pool is not available, autoreleased objects do not get released and your application leaks memory. If you send an autorelease message when a pool is not available, Cocoa logs a suitable […]
Linking “C” Programs with the Chilkat C/C++ Libs
The Chilkat C/C++ libs are (internally) written in C++. Therefore, when linking a “C” program with the Chilkat libs, the C++ runtime libs must be included.

Unzipping zips with Unicode Filenames
Question: I see your example code includes the ability to create a zip with Unicode filenames. Does your product support unzipping files with unicode filenames, such as Chinese?
