I don't remember reading about how string literals are represented in any of
the books I have. Until I go back and scour those for the info (assuming it
is there), I'll ask here. How are string literals represented internally by
compilers? I assume that it's probably null-terminated character string for
C and C++ and some kind of length-prefixed thing for Pascal in a specially
designated data segment area and then just some sort of pointer for a given
literal is placed in the code, yes?
[It's language specific, but for these examples, yes. -John]
