Re: Status of ARC + corebase

[Stefan Bidi]

Since no one has responded to you, yet, I'll go ahead and throw my 2 cents.  I'm the "maintainer" of corebase, but I have no idea how to interface ARC with corebase's retain count system.

That said, where does corebase reference object pointers in structures?  CF uses void * extensively in structures, but I don't remember seeing actual object pointers anywhere.

Hi everyone,

I'm developing a server application that uses ARC, and I'm trying to
figure out how to mesh with corebase and/or another CF implementation.

I haven't done much with mixing ARC and non-ARC code, but from
everything I've read, it seems like I should be able to use the
static, non-ARC corebase framework in my project. So the only problem
is that with ARC on, clang looks at the corebase headers and doesn't
like to see object pointers in structs.

How dangerous would it be to add __unsafe_unretained to these pointers
and cross my fingers? I was able to get the server compiled in this
way, but I know how problematic it is to leave dangling pointers to
objects.

Thanks,
Ben
