When analyzing the object file with IDA you'll see that the BSS section has length 0. Thus, when you link several object files together, all variables are at the same memory position. I think it's a problem with the Assembler that doesn't generate valid COFF files. BTW, when compiling the same program under Linux the BSS section is not 0. So, it seems that the problem is Cygwin (COFF) specific. So far, the only way to reserve memory for a variable is to make it 0-initialized. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
