Used an array instead. I do not know what is your machine, so you should use sizeof o ensure portability, but I'll assume 1 byte chars and 4 byte integers: char variables[17]; char *a = &variables[0]; char *b = &variables[1]; int *c = &variables[2]; char *d = &variables[6]; char *e = &variables[7]; int *f = &variables[12]; char *g = &variables[16]; Fabiano On Sat, 2003-09-27 at 03:14, Mike Johnson wrote: > I'd like to define a list of variables as so: > > char a; > char b; > int c; > char d; > char e[5]; > int f; > char g; > > and have them packed and in order in the map file. > > when I do this they are defined in some random order in the map > file. > > This is so I can access them as a pointer offset from a to allow > a user to query the state of the vars. > > I'm using the AVR version of GCC. > > Thanx for any ideas. > > Mike Johnson > > -- Fabiano Ramos <fabramos@xxxxxxxxxx>
