I was exploring the NSObject documentation for Swift and I was surprised to see that alloc is callable in Swift.
What I would expect:
A) Swift would not expose alloc or `new` at all. There shouldn’t be a way to create objects without going through an initializer.
Hi Mike,
You’re right, new and alloc shouldn’t be exposed to a Swift programmer. They are effectively an implementation detail (which isn't memory safe to expose as you point out). Thanks for filing the radar, we’ll take care of it when we can.
