I ran across at least one exception to this, relevant to the OP's
question: +[NSPropertyListSerialization
dataFromPropertyList:format:errorDescription:] returns an error
string by reference, and in that case, you are responsible for
releasing the string. This is explicitly stated in the
documentation, but isn't obvious from the method signature.
Thank goodness the behavior is documented, and the resulting leak (if
you assume that it works like the rest of Cocoa) should be small and
in frequent.
But that it is a documented exception doesn't make it any more
correct :-)
