Correct.
Example:
Assume image is an CGImageSourceRef.
NSDictionary *metadata =
(NSDictionary *) CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(image, 0, NULL);
....
CFRelease((CFDictionaryRef) metadata);
or alternately
NSDictionary *metadata = (NSDictionary *)
NSMakeCollectable(CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(image, 0,
NULL));
Is that correct?
Either will work. You are better off using NSMakeCollectable() as it
the collector is then free to reap the object at its convenience. As
well NSMakeCollectable() offers more opportunity for future
optimizations than does CFRelease().
