Objective-C GC *already* works with cross platform C++ code. Just CFRetain() your ObjC object before handing it off to something that doesn't understand GC (such as an STL container, or as a generic void* stored in unscanned memory, etc.) and CFRelease() it after removing it. I have a decent amount of (old) Objective-C++ code that does just this (e.g. storing Obj-C objects in shared_ptr), and I had nothing to do in order to get it to work under GC. -- Clark S.
