Right now the stringbuf goes into read-only memory, but the string itself goes in writable memory as it needs its link to the stringbuf fixed up (relocated) at runtime. > Perhaps the .guile.docstr section could eventually be used to contain > stexi, but that seems to already fit into the plan anyway. That can happen already, but I think if we do texinfo we should serialize the string as texinfo -- that way no relocs are needed if docstrings aren't used, because if we use the .docstr string table, it's just an offset into the image of a NUL-terminated UTF-8 byte sequence. (I suppose we should be careful about embedded NUL characters; perhaps we should use some other format for the string tables.) Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
