Please note that this is in a typedef. The initialization needs to happen when
a structure of this type is declared.
const PragmaName g_mypragma = { "mypragma", ...};
Would allow the compiler to put *both* the string "mypragma" *and* the
structure g_mypragma into (read only) "string space", with the linker/loader
calculating the actual value of the pointer.

Yeah, but a const T*const pointer must be initialized.
(unless it's a function argument, in which case it's the "caller" doing the
init, somehow).
Otherwise how else would you assign a value to that const pointer?
So as-is as a struct field, it wouldn't make sense.
C has no constructor like C++ has, to perform the assignment in the
"initializer list"
of the Ctor (i.e. between : and { ) (maybe aggregate initialization can, that's
as close to a Ctor C has. May that would work...)
In Java you can, it's called a "blank final", i.e. compiler tracks at
compile-time when the variable is first assigned, allowing that one, and errors
out at all other assignments (or if not initialized at all).
But in C/C++, I logically don't see how that makes sense. Haven't tried it
recently though :). --DD _______________________________________________
