Integral type constants don't receive memory allocation other than in executable code, do they? &nbsp;My question is, if not, do CString objects share this behaviour?

My MFC code has many declarations like:<br />
<br />
const CString error_message = &quot;You made a mistake.&quot;;<br />
<br />
What does the compiler do with this? &nbsp;Is the string compiled into the code like a const char[]? &nbsp;Or does the compiler just ignore the const and construct a regular CString?

Construct a constant CString?

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
