Issue with the dyld_shared_cache plugin
It appears that in certain cases we should be treating the __const section in the TEXT segment as writable, looking at other analysis tools it is not always writable so there is some other factor for when we should do this. The driving factor behind this change is that some loader initialized data is being stored in that section and the uninitialized data we are presenting is being picked up by analysis and used in constant value propagation, eliminating code paths and otherwise tainting analysis.
