What memory does a string literal go to?

Question

C++ / C#

I've heard that literals and constants end up in the readonly memory section of an object file when they are built. It turns out that for the expression: the literal will not be put on the stack?
foobar("sample text");

Answer 1

It won't fit, right. A pointer to the readonly section will be passed:

lea eax, [Адрес]
push eax
call foobar

In some cases, if the case is passed to a pointer, the optimizer may optimize into a read-write section. In some, maybe. gcc doesn't exactly do that, so I don't recommend modifying a string literal without modifying permissions :)
