This is not dynamic at all! It's constant; look at the generated C code!

Including the type:
        const int a[] = {1, 2, 3};
it's exactly equal to:
        const int[] a = {1, 2, 3};

And they both are constant.

Yes, because in this case the type is int, not int[]. However it could
be added an alias to const int a[] = {1, 2, 3};.
