It depends on how it's defined and scoped.
Try different combinations of defining "const int foo" and move them
around your foo.c file. Try these:
Module scope
Function scope
Function scope and defined static
Then run nm on the a.out and look for foo. If there's a big T or little t
in front of it then the storage is in text which is mapped read-only and
shared.
