Currently I have a set of structures represented as variables such as:
MYTYPE xdata A; MYTYPE xdata B; MYTYPE xdata C; MYTYPE xdata D; MYTYPE xdata E; MYTYPE xdata F; MYTYPE xdata G; MYTYPE xdata H;
unfortunately E and G happen to not be used in this version of the software. Is it possible to force E and G to exist in the same space as F (for example)? Abusing the _at_ keyword seemed an exercise in futility (of COURSE it gives an error because you need a constant location that's an int for the compiler).
Any suggestions? To answer WHY (which I'm sure was asked instantly) it's a matter of only having 1K of xdata space. This of course doesn't solve the issue if one needs to have ALL the variables. I'm just seeing what I can do without making a worse mess.
Thanks for listening (gritting teeth maybe?)

The implicate order of things? Well unfortunately E and G are referenced in an array of constant pointers. It's not as though I didn't think to eliminate them. I was thinking
#define E F #define G F
As another possibility. Truth be told I was hoping to abuse the _at_ operator and do something akin to
MYTYPE F; MYTYPE E _at_ &F; MYTYPE G _at_ &F;
unfortunately there is no way to change &F to the literal the compiler expects.
The suggestions are legitimately thought out, I just was hoping that is what I did not HAVE to do. I guess no matter what I do it will be messy.
