[avr-chat] avr-size .bss bigger than RAM?

[Stuart Longland]

Hi all,

Just a curiosity I noticed with some code I was toying with tonight,
compiled for an ATTiny861:

> $ avr-size bin/attiny861/synth
>    text          data     bss     dec     hex filename
>    3216             6     535    3757     ead bin/attiny861/synth

The code is at http://github.com/sjlongland/atinysynth/ -- build with
`make PORT=attiny861`.

The code runs fine, as can be seen demonstrated in the video on this page:

If I am reading the output from size correctly, then .bss is overflowing
SRAM by about 23 bytes.  How does that work?  Or am I misreading the
information?

I haven't lost my mind...
