Is __attribute((noescape)) — the Objective-C equivalent of Swift’s @noescape
attribute — fully implemented yet (as of Xcode 7)? I’m trying to use it to
avoid that pesky “capturing 'self' strongly in this block is likely to lead to
a retain cycle” error.
I’ve got a method declared like so, with the ‘noescape’ attribute on the block
parameter:
- (BOOL) addBytes: (const void*)bytes
length: (size_t)length
onOutput: (__attribute__((noescape)) void(^)(const
void*,size_t))onOutput;
Then I call the method from another method like so:
[_zipper addBytes: data.bytes length: data.length
onOutput: ^(const void *bytes, size_t length) {
[_writer appendData: [[NSData alloc] initWithBytes ....
But I still get the retain-cycle error, even though the compiler/analyzer
should be able to tell that no retain cycle is possible since it’s been
promised that no one will hold onto a reference to the block.
I’ve tried this with Xcode 6.4 and Xode 7 beta 4 and get the same results.
Should I file a Radar or is this already known?
