Deep Analysis of Const Qualifier in C

Question

Where does a const variable gets stored exactly and how does it behaviour change? Say for example:

const int i=10; // stores where ?  
main()  
         


        

Answer 1

It really shouldn't work.

Constants are generally not stored anywhere. They are expanded inline.

It's possible that your compiler is being nice to you and giving you a memory location to modify, but normally that's impossible.

What warnings are you getting? I imagine you must get some...
