As of Leopard or as of Xcode 3.x?

I think it just matters which version of gcc is being used, so that would make it an Xcode feature, basically.

And, if I read the paragraph above correctly, the compiler will expand @"UTF-8 string" in the source code to UTF16 in the string constant in the TEXT section?

The email you quoted just said "there are cases" where this happens. My hunch, from what I know of CFString, is that ascii string constants will be stored in 8-bit, while ones containing any non-ascii characters would be 16-bit. (CFStrings are never stored in UTF-8 form internally. It's either ascii or the 'default C string encoding', which is locale-dependent, e.g. MacRoman for the English language.)

Of course you should never write any code that relies on this...
