Isn't Objective-C ARC known to be terribly efficient?
It requires compiler support, though.
- Place retain/release at each place expected by Cocoa programming
conventions, as if manually written
- Do a second pass with data-flow analysis to remove retain/release
pairs that don't escape current scope.
If you have an Apple account search for:
