Does the dispose_helper dealloc the objects that block retains according to their memory address?

Yes

So we can fake an array of objects and use dispose_helper to dealloc our objects, and then we can find out which object of the array is not existed. So we can get indexed and retrieve all the objects which block has retained.

Yup

Hey! Sorry for late reply.

Yeah it's exactly like that - we are faking objects that would otherwise be captured by block and we try to figure out which one the block will hold strongly. The way we do it is by using dispose helper which will take care of sending release message to objects it captured strongly.

Please let us know if you have any more questions.
Thanks!
