I compiled a function where the first line of the function body is
const uint8_t text[128] = "Some text...
I supposed sdcc would put the string constant into ROM. I looked at the
generated assembly code. Sdcc takes memory from the stack and generates
code for the ssignment, 8 instructions per character from the string
constant!
If it's a global string constant it's put into ROM.
If it's a local, but static string constant, it's put into RAM, but the
code to initialize it needs only two instructions per byte.
