Compiler/TMS320F28377D: Section for the local variable in command file

Ali,

The code as you have it now, the 'InitVal' is not declared so you would get a compile “Unknown symbol” error. The answer to your question depends on where 'InitVal' is declared. If it is inside the function (like ‘z’) then it goes on the stack. If it is global (like ‘x’ and ‘y’) then it goes in .ebss section. If 'InitVal' is a constant, 'z' still goes on the stack and gets initialized on call using an immediate, so 'InitVal' gets included in the .text section.

I hope this helps. If this answers your question, please click the green "Verified Answer" button. Thanks.

Thanks for replying Ken

Sorry i mean something like this:

int x = 2;
int y = 2;

void main (void)
{
   long z = 2; // or 3 or any integer value;
   
   z = x + y;
}

based on your explanation it will go to .text section. Am i right ? 

Best regards
