Hi anuradha,

The bss section is used for local common variable storage. You may allocate address space in the bss section, but you may not dictate data to load into it before your program executes. When your program starts running, all the contents of the bss section are zeroed bytes. Regards , Mehdi

Hi,

Thankyou for the reply. You told the data in the bss section are zeroed bytes. Could you please tell me whether thses bytes count under the ZI data? And what is meant by ''local common variable storage''? Is it the space used to store all the common global variables used in many programs under the same project? Regards, Neelima.
