[cfe-dev] Static Analyzer

Hello!

I have a problem with the Static Analyzer. I have the following class:

@interface MyClass : NSObject {}
- (CFDateRef) returnsCFRetainedCF CF_RETURNS_RETAINED;
@end

@implementation MyClass
- (CFDateRef) returnsCFRetainedCF {
	return CFDateCreate(0, CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()); // Potential leak  
of an object…
}
@end

When I run the Static Analyzer on this I get an issue "Potential leak  
of an object allocated on line n". I have tried to remove the issue  
with the "CF_RETURNS_RETAINED" in the interface declaration (as you  
can see above) but that does not work. It works fine if I make a cast  
and return the object as an objC object (NSDate*).

I'm running XCode 3.2 on Mac OS 10.6 Beta (IDE/Core: 1602.0,  
ToolSupport: 1591.0). I have a small XCode project if anyone wants to  
look closer at my problem: http://oops.se/StaticAnalyzerTest.zip

Is this how it should work or is this a bug? Any information would be  
very helpful.


Thanks and best regards,

- Martin
