You need to add explicit ownership to your ** declarations. ARC needs to know whether explanationP points to to a strong variable or a weak variable or an autoreleasing variable.
This is one way:
-(void) doSomethingAndExplain:(__strong NSString **)explanationP;
__strong NSString **explanationP = urgent ? NULL : &explanation;
[self doSomethingAndExplain:explanationP];
This is another way:
-(void) doSomethingAndExplain:(NSString **)explanationP;
// NSString** parameter is implicitly __autoreleasing NSString **
__autoreleasing NSString **explanationP = urgent ? NULL : &explanation;
[self doSomethingAndExplain:explanationP];
The first version may have better performance because it avoids the autorelease pool.
