ah I see you mean the disableColectorForPointer: and enableCollectorForPointer: methods, sorry I read enable/disable and went to look at those methods

I didn't understand that bit. "disable/enable methods of NSGarbageCollector", 
that seems like a very heavy-handed way to stop a pointer from being collected, just 
shutting GC off.


I didn't mean shutting GC off entirely. I meant disabling collection for a 
pointer temporarily and re-enabling it when you're done, which is one way of 
solving the problem of passing an object into a function/method that takes a 
generic pointer. You can do that with NSGarbageCollector.
