I’m guessing it’s
__has_feature( nullability )
That works — thanks!
So the magic invocation I’m putting in my header files (after the #includes) is:
#if __has_feature(nullability) // Xcode 6.3+
#pragma clang assume_nonnull begin
#else
#define nullable
#define __nullable
#endif
… interface declarations go here…
#if __has_feature(nullability)
#pragma clang assume_nonnull end
#endif
In property declarations you'll need to make “nullable” the last meta-attribute, otherwise you’ll get syntax errors in earlier versions of Xcode; so for example “(readonly, nonatomic, nullable)” works but “(readonly, nullable, nonatomic)” is a syntax error because in Xcode 6.1 the parser will see two adjacent commas.
[This is working well, but in converting my interfaces I found a nasty compiler bug that I’m about to submit to Apple — if you declare multiple properties on a single line, adding the (nullable) attribute will cause the parser to lock up in an infinite loop: @property (readonly, nullable) id a, b, c; // don’t do this! I spent an hour or so with my MBP’s fan running full speed before figuring out which exact line triggered this.]
