   A non-object return value can't be retained or released, but it conforms to the convention that the memory is not owned by the caller, so the caller need not free it.  The -cString method is free to manage that however it likes (for instance it might return a pointer to some internal memory which exists until the NSString object is deallocated), but typically what's returned is a pointer to memory inside some other object which has been autoreleased.

That's not to say that the failure to release the autorelease pool was not a bug (the code should have released it), just that there is a fail-safe behaviour to protect multithreaded programs from this particular programmer error.
 
 So when you consider that, you can see that the autorelease pool is deallocated so the memory of the  pool is actually freed, and the memory of the NSString and C-String inside it are therefore also freed.
