 Note that functions returning a shared reference type such as `returnSharedObject` transfer the ownership to the caller.
 The C++ caller of this function is responsible for releasing the object.
 
+If a C++ Shared Reference Type is passed as an argument to a C++ API from Swift, the Swift compiler *guarantees* that the passed value would be alive. Also Swift *assumes* that the C++ API is not consuming i.e., it returns with a valid object in the passed reference at the end of the C++ API call.

 ### Unsafe Reference Types
 
 The `SWIFT_UNSAFE_REFERENCE` annotation macro has the same effect as `SWIFT_IMMORTAL_REFERENCE`
