It is entirely plausible that after CSE that becomes just self.view.layer.contents = (id)[[UIImage imageNamed:@"boat.gif"] CGImage]; So, in effect you're not doing anything "funky" that would confuse compiler's ARC. In the latter case, you are actually doing "funky" stuff and the compiler can't work out your "intentions"...
