Not really, Dmitry. That gives you no clue as to whether there is sufficient RAM for the stack.

Static worst case stack analysers used to be a part of many embedded system compilers in the 80s. Now, they seem to have gone. There were a *very* valuable tool.

hi Malan,
linker will bark with a message like:
        msp430-ld: address 0x5026 of a.out section .bss is not within region 
data

Also, you can check a memory utilization with
msp430-size.

Hi
I'm new to msp-gcc (I used IAR until now). The free compiler looksreally
cool. I just have one question... What happens when I have more variables
than the MSP's RAM can hold. E.g. an array: float someArray[100000]? Will
the compiler tell me that I'm being stupid or must I check through my whole
program and make sure I'll never exceed this limit? I know this is a stupid
question but I really don't know!

Thanx,
Malan Joubert
