You can actually replace this ObjC for-in loop with a C++ range-based for loop and that doesn't fix the bug. The bug is that the RetainPtr is a temporary that goes out of scope immediately. The for loop (C++ or ObjC) iterates over the result of .get() so it keeps a raw NSMutableArray * in scope for the entirety of the iteration, but it's pointing to an array that has been freed. Just another bug that ARC would fix.

Oh, right, because of the ".get()" because C++ extends the life of the expression, but not the subexpression before ".get()". Darn, frustrated I got that wrong!
