global variables in C++ in .data

["Michel van Elk" <michel at formula dot nl>]

Hi,

 

When I put global variables in a C++ file and compile em with gcc they

are put in the .data section. In my case this means ROM so not a place

where you want your variables to be. Does anyone know how to get these

globals in the .bss section ? If I rename the file to .C the variable is put

in the .bss section, just as I would expect.

 

Thanks !!
