As we've said here hundreds or thousands of times, *please* provide
some context when you post a followup.  Not everyone can easily see
the article to which you're replying.  group.google.com makes this
gratuitously difficult, but there is a workaround.  See
<http://cfaj.freeshell.org/google/> for details.

The C language says nothing about an "initialized data segment" or
"read only memory".  It refers to three distinct "storage durations":
static, automatic, and allocated.

A string literal may or may not be stored in some kind of read-only
memory.  A portable program can't tell the difference, since any
attempt to modify a string literal invokes undefined behavior.

Again, *please* read <http://cfaj.freeshell.org/google/>.

We must do something.  This is something.  Therefore, we must do this.
