Not quite. ARM puts constant pools inline with the code, not in rodata. This is a fairly fundamental property of the arm architecture. Unlike most other risc architectures arm does not really have any other mechanism for loading addresses/large values. Dyngen has a nontrivial amount of special code to handle this. Paul
