For example, in NSScanner we have:
- (BOOL)scanString:(NSString *)string intoString:(NSString **) stringValue ;
Should I -release stringValue when I am done with it, or has it been
autoreleased?


You see alloc or copy anyplace? :)

Is there a memory-management convention for objects returned by reference like this?

Just the normal Cocoa convention. If you didn't alloc, copy it, or retain it then you don't need to send it a release/autorelease.
