Probably most. >or am I mising something? Only the initial value of the arg is determined at link/compile time. The arg can point to non-const storage, and it is not unreasonable to put the initial value in non-const storage so that it can be frobbed. Linker sets sometimes get frobbed. I once made execsw_set const and had to change it back after it started causing warnings.
