Hmm... Perhaps I should have used the C term. For what I meant by
'static array', mmap (et al) would be utterly wrong. My fault.
Are arrays declared const shared across multiple invocations of a
program?
That is, if I have an array
const int foo[8192] = {...};
then will each instance of the invocation separately allocate 16k for
an array that's never going to change, and exists as it is in the
executable?
Cheers,
