What is impure_data?

Heyho, 

just checked the build analyser in STM32CubeIDE for my L031 project and found "impure_data" in the RAM list.

Can anyone please explain what that is? Google didn't really help... 

Just curious, RAM size is not a problem for this project (32kB flash is a problem when debugging with UART...).

Thanks!

As I read it, "impure_data" is a special RAM section created for libc to deal with reentrancy.
