Moving data between > sections is not supposed to make it use less memory, I believe. You are correct. This was my misunderstanding from doing too much work with microcontrollers, where .text sections are accessed in place from FLASH for code and const data, but .data memory is copied from a FLASH section to a second RAM section at init for access at runtime. Most modern Linux systems copy/decompress their code and data sections from external storage to RAM anyway, so there is no actual memory savings (except potentially the compiler may be able to optimize a bit more with the const hint). > > Anyway, it's a good practice to mark constant data as const, to disallow > changing them at runtime by mistake, so the patch is fine.
