------- Additional Comments From giovannibajo at libero dot it 2005-08-11 22:50 ------- Yes, the concept of "used" and "put in a specific section" should be kept separate. I'm sure that it might be overloaded for specific variables in specific applications, but I can very well think of cases where static variables put in specific sections because of embedded system oddities become really unused because of preprocessor stripping of features from the code.
