Yeah, thanks for this. I've been over Mike's code, and he gets around this issue by using class_setSuperclass(), which the documentation says should not be used.
How would using a CFDictionary with custom callbacks make things any better? In order to find things in the dictionary, things are binned by their hash. Presumably when a CFDictionary needs to grow, it's going to rehash all of the keys (using CFHash() or -hash), but if some of those keys point to deallocated memory (ie, the user is not using Garbage Collection), then I'm liable to crash. This is what necessitated the auto-cleanup subclassing in the first place. Would a CFMutableDictionaryRef allow me to get around this issue?
