Although uncommon, I've seen variables (constants) allocated in the code segment, admittedly some (decent) time ago. And, updating it shouldn't corrupt the code nor crash the boot, provided it's size is respected and no adjacent memory is overwritten. Checksums of the code could fail, but they are done upfront, usually, before an update occurred. Or, do you have an unmet condition with the new value and no error handler for such?

I compiled a hello world program on two different 64-bit Linux machines, named quimby and node0331. When I compile on quimby and run on node0331 I get a "Floating exception (core dumped)" error. But if I do it in reverse, things work fine.

If I declare a function inside another function, it overwrites any previously declared function with the same name. This is NOT what I want.

STACK(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual STACK(9)
NAME
STACK -- stack macros
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
type
STACK_ALLOC(sp, size);
type
STACK_MAX(sp, size);
type
STACK_ALIGN(sp, bytes);
type
STACK_GROW(sp, size);
type
STACK_SHRINK(sp, size);
DESCRIPTION
A stack is an area of memory with a fixed origin but with a variable size. A stack pointer points to the most recently referenced location
on the stack. Initially, when the stack has a size of zero, the stack pointer points to the origin of the stack. When data items are added
to the stack, the stack pointer moves away from the origin.
The STACK_ALLOC() macro returns a pointer to allocated stack space of some size. Given the returned pointer sp and size, STACK_MAX() returns
the maximum stack address of the allocated stack space. The STACK_ALIGN() macro can be used to align the stack pointer sp by the specified
amount of bytes.
Two basic operations are common to all stacks: a data item is added (``push'') to the location pointed by sp or a data item is removed
(``pop'') from the stack. The stack pointer must be subsequently adjusted by the size of the data item. The STACK_GROW() and STACK_SHRINK()
macros adjust the stack pointer sp by given size.
A stack may grow either up or down. The described macros take this into account by using the __MACHINE_STACK_GROWS_UP preprocessor define.
