#187409 - Variables don't move just because you assign to them Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Your int iSize is a global variable without any assign - so BSS.
When you - inside the function assigns the value 8, iSize will not randomly jump from BSS into DATA. Next thing - MAX_STRINGS isn't a variable and doesn't really relate to the compiler. It relates to the preprocessor. So the answer where variables are stored are the same if you remove the #define MAX_STRINGS line, and manually replace MAX_STRINGS with 128 inside the source code. You have read up about the preprocessor, haven't you? |
