The problem is that it isn't used everywhere and that (much more worse)
we have to set "-xstrconst" explicitly all the time. The Sun
WorkShop/Forte/Studio default to make string literals writeable
_seriously_ damages the resource usage for (IMO) zero benefit for almost
all applications.
IMO the default should be changed as soon as possible since most
software vendors which provide their applications on many platforms will
usually use gcc which forces them to treat string literals as read-only
(since gcc 4.x the old "make strings writeable"-option is gone) and the
current default of Sun Studio is therefore contraproductive (and a
violation of the ISO/ANSI standard (per gcc people)).
