Hi there! I'm Daniel Ferreira, and I'm the student who will be contributing to GNUstep through Google Summer of Code for the next three months. I'll be working on getting WebKit to run on top of GS.
That being said, one of the first things I stumbled upon when building WebKit against GS was the absence of a GS implementation of CFBridgingRelease (https://developer.apple.com/reference/foundation/1587932-cfbridgingrelease). I asked Ivan about how to deal with this and he was under the impression that in GNUstep, CFBridgingRelease() should be equivalent to CFRelease(), but he couldn't state that with absolute certainty. So this is the question: are they somehow equivalent in CoreBase's understanding of ARC? And if not, how would you suggest this be implemented? I didn't see transferring memory ownership to ARC being dealt with on threads like this[1] about supporting ARC on CoreBase. Also, only GS thread I could find that addresses the function in particular is this one[2], and it doesn't look like much help either. Thanks, -- Daniel.
