Given the following code (as an example):

- (CGImageRef)createImage

{

CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();

CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL,

100,

colorSpace,

kCGBitmapByteOrder32Little | kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipFirst);

CGImageRef imageRef = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);

CGContextRelease(context);

CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);

return imageRef;

}

- (void)someFunction

{

CGImageRef image = [self createImage];

CGImageRelease(image);

}

I get "Potential leak of an object" on "return imageRef;" and "Incorrect decrement of the reference count" on "CGImageRelease(image)".

How do I tell Xcode that "createImage" is a "create" function and that it's passing responsibility of releasing what is returned to the caller?
