Thanks for catching that. You are right. They need to be static as well.
I kind of expect that to be const as well. The stander did not put const
as requirement. Just said modify the string is undefined.

Thanks for pointing it out. Interesting read.

BTW, unrelated to string literal but relate to 729.

Do you have any comment on sparse giving warning of:
sizeof(function_name)?

The programmer usually mean sizeof(&function_name).
But 729 said sizeof is such a special case the function degenerate
into pointers does not work inside sizeof().

Should sparse give warning for sizeof(function_name) at all?

Thanks
