Hello,
I'd like to know where go global variables, constants and litteral strings,
and what happens to them when the process is spawned
1) Are the litteral strings put in the same place than constant objects such
as
const double PI = 3.14;
static const struct { int a; int b; } mytab [] = {
{23, 52}, {23, 526}, {342, 1}};
?
2) Are those objects put in the same place than r/w global variables such as
struct {
char field1[43];
char field2[52];
int field4;
} myinfos;
static char * my_str = NULL;
int main () {
static char mega_buffer[100000];
/* ... */
}
?
3) What happens to the global constant objects when the process begins? When
are they initialized?
5) What happens to the global variables, since they can be initialized too?
6) If i aim good performance for the system to load my programs, should i
avoid too much global variables (such as my "static mega_buffer")? what
about having a bunch of big litteral strings?
I work on Linux
Thank you !
