Hi All, My application is completely written in C++. While running my application I run the pmap command on the PID of my application. In the output, there were a lot of memory address ranges which are marked against as anon. With a little bit of googling I found out that these addresses might belong to BSS section of process's memory. Now my question is : "Is there any compiler option or any coding style where the number of such anon symbols can be reduced...?" Any help/suggestions regarding this would be very helpful for me. Thanks & Regards, Shivaprasada.M.A
