Question related with compiled file

[ashok@kalculate.com]

Hi List

I'm a developer & working on linux with C/C++
i've one problem related with compiled file.

for example - i make one program in C
filename abc.c

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
        char *pp="test string";
        printf("%s",pp);
        return 0;
}

when i compile this program with
gcc abc.c -o abc

it gives me abc compiled file, but when i open this file and search "test"
string it shows me as a normal string.

now i want to hide this string.
how can i do this?
wether some flag available in gcc for this or something else.

please tell me, i'll be very thankful to list.
