That's a, wrongly described, implementation detail. When any {$codepage
xxx} directive is specified, string constants in the source are
represented in a way that makes lossless conversion to any other code
page possible. This conversion to the target code page is performed at
compile time where possible (when the target code page cannot change at
run time), and otherwise at run time.
What this internal lossless representation is at compile time and/or run
time is undefined.
- not using {$codepage utf8} tells the compiler to convert all your
literals to UTF-8
No, it does not. Please tell me which sentence of
http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_Unicode_support#String_constants suggests
that in any way.
