When I return a CFDataRef
by
(CFDataRef)MyFunction{
.....
CFDataRef data = CFDataCreate(NULL, buf, bufLen);
free(buf);
return data;
}
There is a memory leak, how to make CFDataRef
autorelease?
the method [data autorelease] doesn't exit.
You can't autorelease Core Foundation objects. (However, you can autorelease Core Foundation objects that support toll-free bridging such as CFDataRef; see @newacct's answer below.)
The Objective-C convention is to name your method such that it starts with the word new
to indicate that the caller is responsible for releasing its return value. For example:
+ (CFDataRef)newDataRef {
return CFDataCreate(...);
}
CFDataRef myDataRef = [self newDataRef];
...
CFRelease(myDataRef);
If you conform to this naming convention, the Xcode static analyzer will correctly flag Core Foundation memory managment issues.

Simply cast it to an object pointer type in order to call autorelease
:
-(CFDataRef)MyFunction{
.....
CFDataRef data = CFDataCreate(NULL, buf, bufLen);
free(buf);
return (CFDataRef)[(id)data autorelease];
}
