hi,
we have been discussing about where the string "temporary"( in the program
below) gets allocated in the last two talks and the reason for it be
readonly.
int main() {
char *c = "temporary";
c[4] = 'a' ;
printf("%s", c);
return 0;
}
I saw that a separate section called ".rodata" was present( as told by tc),
and this section is not part of ".text" nor ".bss". It was also seen that
the .text and the .rodata sections go into the same page( in the last talk).
I found the following on a mailing list :
"
What are the sections:
'.text' is code (not modifiable) (this could stay in ROM)
'.rodata' is data that is not modified. (this could stay in ROM)
'.data' is data that could be modified. (this must be placed in RAM)
'.bss' should be zero initialized (and placed in RAM)
"
the description of rodata is perfectly ok. But .rodata being present in the
same page as .text, where the page is marked "executable" is not acceptable.
tc, pep, u guys found something ?
