__autoreleasing is not correct, although it might happen to work today. __autoreleasing means the value stored in the variable is autoreleased. -getReturnValue: does not autorelease the value it stores, so the annotation does not match the behavior. The annotation that matches the behavior is __unsafe_unretained. Use that instead. -- Greg Parker gpar...@apple.com Runtime Wrangler _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
