Is there way to get pgcc to place const data into the .rodata section instead of .data? I’ve heard of compilers that support an option like this but couldn’t find anything in the PGI docs.
All other x86/Linux C compilers that I’ve used (Sun, GNU, Intel, LLVM, Open64) put const data into .rodata. For example:
regehr@john-home:~$ cat foo.c
const int x = 9;
regehr@john-home:~$ pgcc -fast -c foo.c
regehr@john-home:~$ pgsize foo.o
4 .data
20 .note
56 .debug_info
32 .rel.debug_info
20 .debug_abbrev
83 .debug_line
16 .rel.debug_line
13 .init
8 .rel.init
