At least for ARC, it is fully open source.
The runtime part can be found in the objc4 project, and the compiler part come 
from clang, and is open source as well.

And knowing that, you will see that for such complex features, having them open 
source does not bring you many benefit to use them, as it is barely impossible 
to infer what the compiler optimiser pass will output by simply reading the 
source.
