I don’t believe that’s entirely true. “make” methods return a +0 value.

The issue in the below code to my eye is that you allocate a path with CGPathCreateWithRect (+1) but then don't release it.


In that case, I am wondering:
doesn't ownership pass to the textlayer ?
If yes, shouldn't textlayer release the path when it gets destroyed by the ARC?

`CALayer` will indeed release `shadowPath` when it’s deallocated. However, `CALayer.setShadowPath` doesn’t expect to be passed a +1 reference, so it will retain/copy its argument, and it’s that retain which will be balanced by the release during object destruction. Functions and methods generally do not expect to be passed +1 objects.
