Note that even moving from .data to .rodata is desirable anyway,
even if it doesn't result in reduced memory consumption, it does
result in reduced relocations which is good.
Behdad, could you elaborate about this ? I thought that relocations were
only found on pointers,
and given that "constant" pointers in PIC code must be stored in
writable memory to be fixed up,
I don't see why moving from .data to .rodata would result in any
reduction in relocations ?
not to say that reducing the size of .data isn't desirable regarding
page sharing though.
