Enum Place 

pub enum Place {
    Written,
    ReadOnly,
    Zero,
    Merged,
    Named(String),
}

Which section a variable goes in.

Worked out from what the variable is rather than named by it, except in the one case where the program named it. A reader who wants to know why a variable is in .rodata should be able to find the answer in the variable.

Variants

Written

Written to, and its image is not all zeros. .data.

ReadOnly

Never written to, so it can go in a page the loader maps read only and every process running the program can share. .rodata.

Zero

All zeros, so the file says how big it is and carries none of it. .bss.

Merged

A tentative definition, which is not in a section at all: the linker is asked for that much zeroed space and merges every definition of the name into one. .comm.

Named(String)

The section the program named, from __attribute__((section(...))).
