Well, I'm about to give up, but I'll ask one last question. You see,
the question you're asking doesn't make any sense. No correct C or
C++ can possibly be affected by whether literal strings are in
writable memory or not, so your request is utterly baffling. Why do
you care whether they're in writable memory?
