Potential Leaks in Xcode 7 when using static Analyzer

[kishorekumarek]

We are getting Potential Leaks in Reachability.m

Leaks showing in methods "reachabilityWithHostname:" and "reachabilityWithAddress:".

Line numbers 101 and 114 in Reachability.m, "Potential leak of an object stored into 'ref'"

Attached the screenshot of the issue.

The property, which is set in the init is assign. If you auto release its highly likely you'll get a zombie.

I think this alteration will fix the SA error and maintain functionality. #118

Any updates on this ?

Hey is there some person who have permission to merge??

The problem here is it doesn't account for the
CFRelease(self.reachabilityRef);

On line 175 which takes care of freeing the SCNetworkReachabilityCreate* object

It's true that the SA doesn't account for the CFRelease in the dealloc, so there is no actual leak. But this silences the SA and also makes ownership of the object clear: #165
