You can now annotate C types with the SWIFT_SHARED_REFERENCE<\/code> attribute.<\/p>\n

Retain and release operations for SWIFT_SHARED_REFERENCE<\/code> types can now be methods of the type. You can now annotate a C\/C++ type with SWIFT_SHARED_REFERENCE(.doRetain, .doRelease)<\/code> to use methods doRetain<\/code> and doRelease<\/code> as the lifetime operations for the type.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
