Hi, I know that this is not the right forum to ask this question, but I don't know other forums. Sorry. Can anyone tell me the difference between bss and sbbs sections of the elf format. Also when data will be put in bss and when in sbss ? Any relevant documents on this will be helpful to me. Thanks in advance, Mouli. --------------------------------------------------- "If you want a thing well done, do it yourself." -- Charles Haddon Spurgeon --------------------------------------------------- - Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
