Specifying Variable Addresses in C

The user can tell the compiler to specify the address of a variable in a C file using the : operator. The constant value following the : operator is the word address of the global variable (i.e., int OneReg : 0xBCD ; specifies that the global variable OneReg resides at word address 0xBCD).

Note: The Linker does not reserve space for global variables declared with the : operator.
