ARC isn't involved with the return value in either case. In the first one, it's a scalar, as you noted. In the second, it's a core foundation object, which isn't managed by ARC …

… unless the CGImageSourceCreateWithURL is marked (in the SDK) with the attribute that that says it can be managed by ARC (a fairly recent addition to Clang) …

… but that wouldn't be it anyway, since there's no cast needed on the return value, let alone a __bridge.

I tried both your examples in Xcode 4.6.3 and OS X 10.8 SDK, and neither produced an error or a warning.

The answer to your question probably depends on:

-- the version of Clang you're using
-- the particular SDK you're using
-- the compiler options you're using
