Open Radar

 
Summary:

The attached project crashes due to an over-release when built with compiler optimization turned on (-Os), but does not crash when compiler optimization is turned off (-O0). The project is being built against the iOS 6.0 SDK that was shipped with Xcode 4.5 (4G182) with the Apple LLVM compiler 4.1.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Inspect the problem-causing code in AppDelegate.m in the attached sample project.
2) Run the attached Xcode project with optimization turned off. Note that the no crashes occur.
3) Run the attached project with optimization set to -Os

Expected Results:

I would expect that no crashes would occur.

Actual Results:

The app crashes when num2 is over-released. Enable Zombie Objects to confirm that this is the case.

Notes:

Based on my understanding of ARC, this code should not lead to any objects being over-released.



Excerpted sample code:


	// This crashes under -Os, but not under -O0
	NSNumber *num1 = @((float)arc4random() / (float)UINT32_MAX);
	NSNumber *num2 = @((float)arc4random() / (float)UINT32_MAX);

	NSNumber *foo1 = num1;
	NSNumber *foo2 = num2;

	for (NSUInteger i=0; i<2; i++) {

		NSLog(@"foo1: %p %@", foo1, foo1);
		NSLog(@"foo2: %p %@", foo2, foo2);

		// swap foo1 and foo2
		foo1 = num2;
		foo2 = num1;
	}
