5.9.5 The DATA_SECTION Pragma

The DATA_SECTION pragma allocates space for the symbol in C, or the next symbol declared in C++, in a section named section name.

The syntax of the pragma in C is:

#pragma DATA_SECTION (symbol, "section name")

The syntax of the pragma in C++ is:

#pragma DATA_SECTION ("section name")

The DATA_SECTION pragma is useful if you have data objects that you want to link into an area separate from the .bss section.
