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?

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

Tcl_BackgroundError(3TCL) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_BackgroundError(3TCL)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_BackgroundError - report Tcl error that occurred in background processing
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_BackgroundError(interp)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which the error occurred.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This procedure is typically invoked when a Tcl error occurs during ``background processing'' such as executing an event handler. When such
an error occurs, the error condition is reported to Tcl or to a widget or some other C code, and there is not usually any obvious way for
that code to report the error to the user. In these cases the code calls Tcl_BackgroundError with an interp argument identifying the
interpreter in which the error occurred. At the time Tcl_BackgroundError is invoked, the interpreter's result is expected to contain an
error message. Tcl_BackgroundError will invoke the bgerror Tcl command to report the error in an application-specific fashion. If no
bgerror command exists, or if it returns with an error condition, then Tcl_BackgroundError reports the error itself by printing a message
on the standard error file.
Tcl_BackgroundError does not invoke bgerror immediately because this could potentially interfere with scripts that are in process at the
time the error occurred. Instead, it invokes bgerror later as an idle callback. Tcl_BackgroundError saves the values of the errorInfo and
errorCode variables and restores these values just before invoking bgerror.
It is possible for many background errors to accumulate before bgerror is invoked. When this happens, each of the errors is processed in
order. However, if bgerror returns a break exception, then all remaining error reports for the interpreter are skipped.
