[cfe-dev] Is ARC expected to work on ARM?

[Jordan Rose]

FWIW, the ARCMT tests are NOT runtime tests. "MT" stands for "migration tool", so they are rewriting tests. They may depend on the selected ObjC runtime, but I wouldn't expect them to pass on other non-Darwin 32-bit platforms and fail on ARM/Linux.

I'm not so familiar with the ARCMT tests, though.

(I presume if you want to be a brave ecosystem explorer you could also consider ARM/WINCE :-) ). Is there an expectation that ARC tests only use run-time functionality that should work on the ARM/Linux combination?
