If I place crt0 first in the list of files for the linker, it produces no output at all. No error messages, and no IHX file. The linker seems to want the .o file with main() first. >> Therefore, global variables do not get >> initialised.

I don't want to move the data area, I want to get rid of the GSINIT section and variable initialization code, and have the variables initialized directly in code eg ".db <value>" - that is, I want the compiler behaviour used for allocating consts to apply to all variables. Since all memory is writable, having a separate piece of code to initialize variables is a waste of space. -- Alistair Buxton a.j.bux...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
