Remove an optimization where we were changing an objc_autorelease into an objc_autoreleaseReturnValue. The semantics of ARC implies that a pointer passed into an objc_autorelease must live until some point (potentially down the stack) where an autorelease pool is popped. On the other hand, an objc_autoreleaseReturnValue just signifies that the object must live until the end of the given function at least. Thus objc_autorelease is stronger than objc_autoreleaseReturnValue in terms of the semantics of ARC* implying that performing the given strength reduction without any knowledge of how this relates to the autorelease pool pop that is further up the stack violates the semantics of ARC. *Even though objc_autoreleaseReturnValue if you know that no RV optimization will occur is more computationally expensive. llvm-svn: 178612
