I started to use iOS ARC (automatic reference counting) feature on one of the brand new projects recently. It feels a bit weird leaving the dangling pointers around and takes few hours to get used to it.
Few open source projects I'm using actually followed the precedent and had the latest code already compatible with ARC. The rest of the non-ARC code is not that difficult to mix with existing project just have to use the compile flag for the files that is not ARC compliant: -fno-objc-arc
Overall it seems like the developers' job got a bit easier, leaving up to compiler to track the memory allocations and releases.
Feel free to post your thoughts on ARC and maybe you know some problems that I might get into down that path.
Thanks!
