That's easy: the compiler should have no problem tracking the use of ids throughout as they are easily managed (eg, an id can live inside an autorelease pool). So, you have a CxxxRef that was returned by an ObjC method, which is manageable, id that is manageable, and your assignment is manageable, so the compiler is happy. >> Are you saying that because someone at Apple was being sloppy in >> writing that sample code and, as it transpires, hasn't fixed that >> mis-type yet, the document is invalidated as a whole? > > > No. I was not saying anything about validity of anything.

You said the notes were of no use as they were wrong in part, unless I misunderstood what you were saying...
