Thanks.  I will surely file a bug.  In the meantime I think I'll just resort to making a C++ wrapper for dispatch objects that will do reference counting for me similar to shared_ptr or something similar to WebKit's RetainPtr [1].

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

we are definitely very aware of this need, but I can't comment on future plans to address it.

Please feel free to file a bug on bugreporter.apple.com asking for analyzer support for dispatch objects.

Hi,

I was wondering if there were any plans on adding something to the equivalent of the annotations __attribute__((cf_returns_retained)) to GDC function calls for dispatch objects.  Since they're not CFTypes I realize support to clang's static analyzer need to be added.  After using a lot of the new dispatch_io calls and having manage dispatch_data_t objects, it seems like there is a much larger use case for analysis support.

Thanks,
