Re: [avr-gcc-list] Global variables in pure assembler??

[Larry Barello]

You want .comm, not .lcomm (which is a local)  and you don't need to fool
around with sections either.  They will go into the right section
automatically.

...
    .comm    myvar, 1        ; Reserve a byte for "myvar"
    .comm    yourvar, 4    ; Reserver four bytes for "yourvar"
    .lcomm    localvar, 1    ; a single "static" byte (e.g. local)

The type is set in the C header file.  You can address it directly with an
LDS or use lo8() and hi8() to get the address into a register pair.

Cheers!
