Hi Codewarriors

I hope somebody from Metrowerks reads this newsgroup.
Below there are two files for explanation: "main.c" and "sincos.c"
main() only reads a value out of the sintab[]. If you do not call the 
dummy-function sincos() the value of "a" is always 0, no matter which 
element if the array is read. But if you call sincos(), the value is set 
correctly. If you copy the sincos-array into the main.c the values are 
right even without calling this dummy-function.

strange. any comments?


main.c:
extern const short sintab[];
extern void sincos(void);
main()
{
short a;
sincos();
a=sintab[3];
}

sincos.c:
const short sintab[] = {
 0,  285,  571,  857,  1142,  1427,  1712,  1996
};
void sincos(void)
{
}
