CFRelease

Releases a Core Foundation object.

void CFRelease (
   CFTypeRef cf
);

Parameters

cf A CFType object to release. This value must not be NULL

                      

CFRetain

Retains a Core Foundation object.

CFTypeRef CFRetain (
   CFTypeRef cf
);

Parameters

cf

The CFType object to retain. This value must not be NULL

CFGetRetainCount

Returns the reference count of a Core Foundation object.

CFIndex CFGetRetainCount (
   CFTypeRef cf
);

Parameters

cf

The CFType object to examine.

Return Value

A number representing the reference count of cf.

Discussion

You increment the reference count using the CFRetain function, and decrement the reference count using the CFRelease function.

This function may useful for debugging memory leaks. You normally do not use this function, otherwise.

core foudation类型的变量一般都为只读，比如cgcolorRef，cgimageRef不是，在core plot中

CGImageRetain(null);会做NULL校验，而不是CFretain；

CGColorRetain

Increments the retain count of a Quartz color.

CGColorRef CGColorRetain (
   CGColorRef color
);

Parameters

color

Discussion

This function is equivalent to CFRetain, except that it does not cause an error if the color parameter is NULL.
