The runtime APIs for ARC are listed here:

http://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html#runtime-support

For the most part ARC is just inserting calls to retain and release in the right places (although using functions instead of message sends), but there are also APIs that can avoid adding objects to an autorelease pool for the common case of:

    -(id)message
    {
        return [[someValue copy] autorelease];
    }

    ...

    result = [[object message] retain];
