I don't know if there's a better way to do this (probably not), but from C's point of view everything is an address. If you do something like "extern int foo;" and then try accessing "foo", it will read an int from the address marked by the symbol "_foo". So to get what you should do something like this: extern void _BSS_LOAD__; int bss_load = ( int )&_BSS_LOAD__; -thefox ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Thu Nov 17 20:19:07 2011
