Sorry -- let me clarify. If the <data> was either released in a

that <data> would be released under non-GC without some explicit
action being taken.
Under GC, the situation isn't quite so clear.
That makes perfect sense. Sorry that I glossed over the 'other
thread' bit.
What about using the data pointer directly in the loop? Would this
prevent the GC thread from freeing that memory early? This sends a
message to the data object at each iteration, so not as optimal as
pointer arithmetic I suppose...
NSData* data = <get it from somewhere>;
NSUInteger count = [data length];
for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < count; i++)
[data getBytes:&something range:NSMakeRange(i, 1)];
Cheers,
