             Bug #: 12253
           Summary: Please add a pragma for controlling ARC
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs

Please add a pragma override directive for enabling and disabling ARC. Although
it would be nice to be able to switch ARC on and off mid-file, requiring the
directive appear before anything else in the file would be OK also.

The reason for this feature request is because I have a bunch of files, some of
which support ARC, and some that don't, that are designed to be dropped
directly into a new Xcode project (and which have other compile-time
configuration issues that make them not very friendly to just put into a
library); it would greatly simplify matters if I didn't have to go configure
the target for each file, every time I needed to add these files to a new
project (with a pragma override, I could just drop them in, turn on ARC
globally for the whole project, and compile).

I imagine others would find it handy also...

Thanks!
