#181323 - The meaning of 'const' in ANSI 'C'
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Per Westermark said:
But why do you force a constant char to be stored in the code segment? Have you checked if you save any code size by making the constant into a physical entity stored in the flash, compared to being just a numeric value defined by #define or inside an enum {...} block?


Isn't this one of the differences between C and C++ ?

Doesn't C++ treat (or have the ability to treat) a 'const' much like an ANSI C #define or enum...?
