You can have a static buffer: static char buf[128]; and use strcpy() at any point to copy into it, so I don't think statically allocated strings must be l

  There is a distinction between const and non-const static memory, though, in that the former can be stored in Read-Only Memory. Still, static memory is generally used for many fewer purposes than the stack or the heap, and if I understand correctly, sbrk is still working with the heap, just more manually.

    That's right. Allocators use the sbrk and mmap to manage the heap. IIRC high performance allocators tend to use mmap exclusively.
