Situation: I am writing a custom decoder that decodes objects from JSON-based archives. My objects gets released prematurely, hence a manual retain is asked for.
I need to make this thing work across multiple platforms (that is, Cocoa versus GNUstep) but some certain platform does not have the toll-free bridging capabilities of CFRetain/CFRelease functions, or even lacked CoreFoundation at all (that is, GNUstep can be configured to disable toll-free bridging in their implementation of CoreFoundation, or the CoreFoundation library can be missing entirely since it is optional to them). Calls to those functions are what I have to do to make the decoder work.
