C++ string literal data type storage

Question

void f()
{
    char *c = \"Hello World!\"
}

Where is the string stored? What\'s the property of it? I just know it is a constant, what else? Can I

Answer 1

it is packaged with your binary -- by packaged I mean hard-wired, so yes you can return it and use it elsewhere -- you won't be able to alter it though, and I strongly suggest you declare it as:

const char * x = "hello world";
