Thing *aThing = [ Thing new ];

void *thingData = [ aThing data ];      //      pointer to a buffer owned by 
aThing

… never use aThing after this point → Arc might release aThing right now
… but do lots of things with thingData

… no more need for thingData
[ aThing release];

How to prevent Arc to release aThing before I have done with thingData?

Gerriet.
