In Swift 6.1, we introduced warnings for C++ APIs returning SWIFT_SHARED_REFERENCE types that lack the SWIFT_RETURNS_(UN)RETAINED annotations. These warnings serve as a reminder to annotate APIs, as the absence of these annotations can lead to arbitrary assumptions about the ownership of returned SWIFT_SHARED_REFERENCE values. This could result in both use-after-free (memory safety) bugs and memory leaks. We have received feedback from a few adopters indicating potential false positive cases where these warnings are triggered. Consequently, we have decided to disable these warnings in Swift 6.2 and re-qualify the warnings on larger projects to ensure their effectiveness and eliminate false positives. Our intention is to re-enable the warnings in later beta releases of Swift 6.2 once we have stronger evidence of their effectiveness on large codebases and proof that there are no false positives. rdar://150937617 rdar://150800115
