The feature of shared variables in C is a wonderful saver of DATA space. Can the same be implemented in assembler ? Erik
I thought, that certain information like a function data segement is associated with a particular function, is passed to the linker by the "Naming Convention". I could be wrong.
I think that this is not the case: the name is simply what the Linker uses to identify an object; all the other information about the attributes of the object are conveyed in the Object File format (eg, whether it's a Segment or a variable; whether it's overlayable or not,...) But I could be wrong; maybe someone from Keil could clarify?
