So, back to the OQ. I am now inclined to think that, at least in my
circumstances (a shared framework properly balancing CFRetain and
CFRelease), I do NOT need to use the __strong keyword for the CFType-
derived
instance variables, in order to support garbage collection. Any
disagreement?
No disagreement ... just footnotes:
-- #1 Provided you manage memory just like a non-GC app (so don't call
CFMakeCollectable).
-- #2 Provided you don't depend on any autorelease-related behavior
for CF objects (so be careful with those few things that return
"autoreleased" CF objects, and don't cast bridgeable objects over to
their NS versions to call 'autorelease')
-- #3 Provided you add duplicates of any CFRelease calls inside
'dealloc' methods to the corresponding 'finalize' methods, to avoid
leaking those objects.
Most likely you've already got #1 covered, possibly #2 won't affect
the CF objects you're using, and #3 is easy if you haven't done it
already.
