Argh. Okay, I'll ask this on devforums when it comes back up, in case it
depends on, uh, the thing I'm using that I can't talk about. m.

ARC isn't involved with the return value in either case.
The first one is a NSConstantString string. It's not like a malloc'd NSString.
It's effectively a singleton. It doesn't mater how it's bridged because it
can't be released. The second is a new NSURL that is allocated on the heap. It
needs to be released so it needs to be bridged correctly to han
The first gives me the following error:
Implicit conversion of Objective-C pointer type 'NSString *' to C pointer type
'CFStringRef' (aka 'const struct __CFString *') requires a bridged cast

My take:
__bridge means 'do not transfer the retain count of to
the LHS'. If the RHS involves some kind of create or new, then you'll get a
leak since ARC won't release it.
__bridge_transfer means 'transfer the retain count of to
the LHS'. If the RHS involves some kind of create or new, then
