For Win32 targets, constant tends to be emitted to .data, not to .rdata.

const char a[] = "Hello.";

@a = constant [7 x i8] c"Hello.\00", align 1

* MSVC(x64)
PUBLIC  a
CONST   SEGMENT         ;2 .rdata        00000007
a       DB      'Hello.', 00H
CONST   ENDS

* mingw32-gcc 4.4
.globl _a
        .section .rdata,"dr"
_a:
        .ascii "Hello.\0"

* {i686|x86_64}-mingw32-{clang, llc}
        .data
        .globl  _a                      # @a
_a:
        .asciz   "Hello."
