All Core Foundation creator functions with Create or Copy in the name leave you with the responsibility of releasing the return value when you're done with it. There's a relatively new CFMakeCollectable() function which marks a Core Foundation type as collectable by the garbage collector, but I have no experience with it. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
