Re: [avr-gcc-list] Avoiding memory initialization

[Anton Erasmus]

Hi,

Use the  something like

int gTestVar __attribute__((section ("no_init")));

This will put gTestVar in a section called no_init. Any section you 
define is not initialised by the startup code. You might have to tell 
the linker where to put the code.

Hope this helps
  Regards
     Anton
