Re: [lwip-users] About global parameter initial problem

[Alain M.]

There is a possibility that it is not the compiler, but your startup code.

When a C program runs in an embedded (or anywhere), there is code that 
runs before main(). That code is responsible for initing your global 
variables.

Search you startup code, some times called crt.S ...

I have seen problems with this many times :)
