Does ARC manage memory for CGPDF types?

I'm working on a custom PDF library for iOS and noticed that there are explicit functions for retaining and releasing CGPDFDocumentRefs andPageRefs. Does ARC handle the retain/release of such opaque types?

Solution

  • No. ARC does not currently handle the memory management for anything except Obj-C objects (which CGPDF things aren't).
