And is less messy really since then the syntax would be something like: #define RESERVE_BRK(name,sz) \ static char __brk_reservation_#name[sz] __attribute__((section("brk_reservation", nobits), used); Which gets rid of the messy inline-asm and makes things look like a real variable, etc. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41045
