This is the problem.

The buffer is its contents. As an array rather than a pointer the
address of its first element will never change with or without the
const. The const is saying the elements' values are constant. Constant
at zero since it's a static and not initialised to anything else.

Because the compiler can assume the contents of a static const array
that's not initialised to anything are zero and doesn't need to load
from memory; check the assembler.
