Re: understanding conversions between CF and NS datatypes

The problem: I found that if you release the CFMutableArray, you also loose
the NSMutableArray


Question:
1. Where can I get a better understanding of the data conversion between
these different frameworks?
2. Ultimately the device path names will appear in a ComboBox. Was it
necessary to convert the CFMutableArray to a NSMutableArray for the
datasource function?

It's more convenient to do it this way... however, you were just casting the
types, not converting them. You could do something like this:


serialPorts = [(NSArray*)devicePaths copy];
CFRelease(devicePaths);

Or you could just retain your serialPorts object:

serialPorts = (NSArray *)devicePaths;
[serialPorts retain];
CFRelease(devicePaths);
