Maybe most compilers do place const declarations into ROM however that
is not universally true. If I remember correctly Embedded Systems
Programming (very recently) carried at least 4 consecutive issues on
this very topic : the different ways the keyword "const" can be used and
what it means under different circumstances. In the articles (I think)
the author mentioned that "const" will often not do what it implies i.e.
the compiler/linker will not locate the so-called constant in ROM but in
RAM.
