Casting a CFDictionaryRef to NSDictionary?

Question

I have the code (stripped down):

CFDictionaryRef *currentListingRef;
//declare currentListingRef here
NSDictionary *currentListing;
currentListing = (NSDicti         


        

Answer 1

In ARC, this should be done this way:

CFDictionaryRef currentListingRef = ...;
NSDictionary *currentListing = CFBridgingRelease(currentListingRef);

This releases the CF object and transfers ownership of the object to ARC otherwise you should release CF object manually.
