declare those variables as local in stack.. dont initialise it!<br />
<br />
see if it is global then it will be in .bss section &nbsp;so during ur startup routine dont initailse to zero.<br />

Can anyone assist with a Borland C V3.1 problem. I am using battery backed up ram in an embedded system and have some variables I do not want initialized on reset or power up. How do I overcome this problem ?<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />

Borland C V3.1 embedded design

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
