On macOS, "gcc" puts strings that don't include a null byte in the TEXT section. I put quotes around gcc, since it seems that by default macOS aliases gcc to clang.

You can run the program I built here to see for your self: https://github.com/vivekseth/blog-posts/tree/master/Jump-Add...

Since the string in the TEXT section, we can actually execute it as if it were code!

After you build the program you can run `otool -t ./a.out` to verify that the string `execString` is indeed in the TEXT section.
