--- Comment #1 from Francois-Xavier Coudert <fxcoudert at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Some NSObject methods that used to return (id) now return (instancetype). Only
NSObject has this, and the list includes: self, retain, autorelease, init, new,
alloc*
The "What's new in OS X Yosemite" document at
https://developer.apple.com/Library/mac/releasenotes/MacOSX/WhatsNewInOSX/WhatsNewInOSX.pdf
says:
"Many frameworks on OS X have adopted small interface changes that take
advantage of modern Objective-C syntax: […] Initialization methods are updated
to have a return value of instancetype instead of id."
It is documented further in Apple docs, or in clang here:
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html
I suppose as a first approach, we could make it equivalent to id.
