Yes, this question is kind of NDA. But on the other side, everything  
is in the GCC CVS publically visible, though undocumented. You even  
see it's use appear in the WebKit CVS.

Well, it seems to work on CoreFoundation structures and the  
NSHashTable and NSMapTable work with pointers, that get zeroed out,  
when declared weakly. So I'd say it must work with every kind of  
pointer.
