Re: global static problem

["Gabor POSZ" <uiqporting@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
We made some more experimenting, and we
unfortunatelly realised that it is the same with the local static variables
too:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   static int StaticIntData = 5;

   printf ("&StaticIntData: %08x", &StaticIntData);
   printf ("StaticIntData: %d", StaticIntData);

   return 0;
}

It really makes impossible the porting :(

Best Regards,
