Is it possible to see Objective-C ARC output?
automatic-ref-counting, objective-c
Solution
It is not possible, because ARC does not produce Objective-C code. ARC is a compiler feature that modifies the assembly produced in the same way that enabling optimizations might do. You can't tell the compiler to show you "optimized" C code; the optimizations are not applied at the level of C code. Likewise, you cannot ask to see the "ARC-ified" Objective-C, because the ARC memory management calls are not applied at the level of Objective-C code.
If you really want to see where the memory management calls are being made, you'll have to look at the assembly.
Problem
In xcode, it's possible given some Objective-C code, to see the code it would output in Assembly. Is it possible to see given ARC enabled code, to see the Objective-C that would be outputted by ARC?
