The trouble with these macros is that once dct_weak
is defined control drops through to the final #else
and the compiler starts emitting the warning. I've corrected it with https://gist.github.com/1354106 which explicitly emits a warning if the minimum iOS requirement is not met.

These are the macros I use to define weak variables for ARC code where the minimum required OS is unknown, i.e. my common classes. This way, it doesn't matter if the minimum target OS is iOS 4.3 or iOS 5, the code will run as optimally as possible.
