Hi Lee, I don't recommend trying to initialize all the variables in the lwIP code on your own. Our company had the same problem for the TI DSP67XX and DSP645X compiler toolchain, and we went down the path of modifying all the c code having variables needing initialization. It required analysis to figure out which ones needed it and a fair amount of time. Good luck making sure you catch them all, and good luck trying to stay in sync with the repository once you do it. The latter is a much larger headache, as you're always on the hunt for variables that need to be initialized when new features are added, etc., and every compare against the CVS root for change yeilds a pile of false positives. In the end we abandoned that approach and finally wrote a separate assembly level application entry point that forcibly cleared *all* unitialized linked data in our embedded program (we "fixed" our "broken" compiler). A little compiler and linker gynmastics, but "it was the only way to be sure".
