This is generally true, except ion many embedded systems, where the static allocation to a pointer will end up in the constant, non volatile (that is, non-modifiable ROM) memory. In that case it could give either a complile error, or a runtime error if the compiler is not good enough to catch th modification of nonvolitile memory

Basically, this will result in runtime error. Because when you use statement like:

char *p = "Hello world";

The space for hello word gets created in code segment only which can not be modified.

Latest compilers will give a warning saying
warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’
and it is a Segmentation fault.
