Consider one-line module module B (v) where v = "hello" in -fvia-C mode it generates code like static char gibberish_str[] = "hello"; It resides in data section (precious resource on ia64!). The patch switches genrator to emit: static const char gibberish_str[] = "hello"; Other types if symbols that gained 'const' qualifier are: - info tables (from haskell and CMM) - static reference tables (from haskell and CMM) Cleanups along the way: - fixed info tables defined in .cmm to reside in .rodata - split out closure declaration into 'IC_' / 'EC_' - added label declaration (based on label type) right before each label definition (based on section type) so that C compiler could check if declaration and definition matches at definition site.
