How do I know whether the compiler has ARC support enabled?

Question

I need to write a lib in my iOS app.

The statement should be pre-process define as :

myObject ...

#if ARC
   // do nothing
#else
   [myObject releas

You can do it using macros:

#if !defined(__clang__) || __clang_major__ < 3
    #ifndef __bridge
        #define __bridge
    #endif

    #ifndef __bridge_retain
        #define __bridge_retain
    #endif

    #ifndef __bridge_retained
        #define __bridge_retained
    #endif

    #ifndef __autoreleasing
        #define __autoreleasing
    #endif

    #ifndef __strong
        #define __strong
    #endif

    #ifndef __unsafe_unretained
        #define __unsafe_unretained
    #endif

    #ifndef __weak
        #define __weak
    #endif
#endif

#if __has_feature(objc_arc)
    #define SAFE_ARC_PROP_RETAIN strong
    #define SAFE_ARC_RETAIN(x) (x)
    #define SAFE_ARC_RELEASE(x)
    #define SAFE_ARC_AUTORELEASE(x) (x)
    #define SAFE_ARC_BLOCK_COPY(x) (x)
    #define SAFE_ARC_BLOCK_RELEASE(x)
    #define SAFE_ARC_SUPER_DEALLOC()
    #define SAFE_ARC_AUTORELEASE_POOL_START() @autoreleasepool {
    #define SAFE_ARC_AUTORELEASE_POOL_END() }
#else
    #define SAFE_ARC_PROP_RETAIN retain
    #define SAFE_ARC_RETAIN(x) ([(x) retain])
    #define SAFE_ARC_RELEASE(x) ([(x) release])
    #define SAFE_ARC_AUTORELEASE(x) ([(x) autorelease])
    #define SAFE_ARC_BLOCK_COPY(x) (Block_copy(x))
    #define SAFE_ARC_BLOCK_RELEASE(x) (Block_release(x))
    #define SAFE_ARC_SUPER_DEALLOC() ([super dealloc])
    #define SAFE_ARC_AUTORELEASE_POOL_START() NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    #define SAFE_ARC_AUTORELEASE_POOL_END() [pool release];
#endif

The above came from the site: http://raptureinvenice.com/arc-support-without-branches/; but I've pasted it to ensure it's not lost.
