Well, there is, if you mean that you make the decision — -[NSProcessInfo 
isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion:].

I’m not sure I understand, though, why you want to have this decision made. If 
you wrote code to make ‘assign’ (aka ‘unowned’) work in 10.6, that code — 
manual zeroing of the reference, I mean — will necessarily work in later 
versions, so why not just go with that unconditionally?

OTOH, if you have a good reason for wanting to use ‘weak’ instead, it seems to 
me that’s a good reason to withdraw support for 10.6**, or at least to have a 
separate build for clients that want to run on 10.6.


** I’m not sure I remember now, but didn’t 10.6.8 have support for zeroing weak 
references? If that’s so, you could just withdraw support for 10.6.7 or 
earlier, which shouldn't upset anyone greatly.
