Actually 'const' alone should've been enough for the variable to be placed in the data section ISO stack.

I don't understand what "ISO stack" means here.

   ISO == instead of.

I would think that "const" might or might not cause the array to be allocated statically.

   At least with gcc, it will be allocated statically.
