Bear in mind that the structure only contains the pointers, not the strings themselves. String literals used as values are stored in the .rodata section. If you want them elsewhere, you'll have to store them in named variables, e.g.: static char s1[] __attribute__ ((section (".my_sec"))) = "this is 1st string"; static char s2[] __attribute__ ((section (".my_sec"))) = "this is 2nd string"; struct abc klm __attribute__ ((section (".my_sec"))) = { s1, s2 }; $ objdump -j .my_sec -d foo.o foo.o: file format elf32-i386 Disassembly of section .my_sec: 00000000 <s1>: 0: 74 68 69 73 20 69 73 20 31 73 74 20 73 74 72 69 this is 1st stri 10: 6e 67 00 ng. 00000013 <s2>: 13: 74 68 69 73 20 69 73 20 32 6e 64 20 73 74 72 69 this is 2nd stri 23: 6e 67 00 00 00 ng... 00000028 <klm>: 28: 00 00 00 00 13 00 00 00 ........
