Re: Implementation of CFBridgingRelease() on GNUstep

[Stefan Bidigaray]

Hmm, good point. What exactly does CFBridgingRelease do? I thought it would just undo a previous CFBridgingRetain, but what you're saying is that it could be used on any CF object, not just objc objects that had been "converted" to CF.

I'll have a look at the documentation in more detail tomorrow and get back to you.

Hm, I get how this works for y = CFBridgingRetain(x) being equivalent
to CFRetain(): add +1 to x's reference count, let the ARC runtime get
rid of all the references to x, we've still got a 1 that can be later
CFRelease()d.

However, this is still not quite clear to me when it comes to
CFBridgingRelease() being equivalent to CFRelease(). If I do something
like `s = CFRelease(CFStringCreate(...))`, s would reach reference
count 0 and be deallocated, thus rendering it unusable as an
Objective-C object. Or am I wrong here?
