Well, my original example was of native Swift objects that are released instantly and Cocoa objects that are not, and you suggested that the Cocoa objects are using autorelease - which makes sense, because Cocoa has to support ARC and non-ARC code. Is there any evidence that ARC is internally generating autorelease calls for native Swift code?
