Hi jim ,
forgot to mention , I am accessing variable a as extern in file2.c
I am going through the solutions pointed by you but not able to
figure out one .
Thanks ,

This so
Hi Jim,
that seems to be a promising solution.
If I keep the prefix "_" for a global variable , there is a problem in
accessing it in gdb...let me explain you with an example
Eg: file1.c
int a = 10;
int main()
{
int b =10;
int c;
c = add( a , b);
return 0;
}
file2.c
int add( int x, int y)
{

The simple solution is to either add a prefix to variable names, or to
add a prefix to register names. In ELF, the convention is to not
Jim,
If I define USER_LABEL_PREFIX "" and declare a global variable
using names r0/r1...r15 ( my register names ) , my assembler is
generating an error message saying " r0 is already defined , cannot use
register in expression "
How can i make sure my tool chain knows the

I am able to print them in gdb in with an _ (underscore). I am using
Gcc-4.3.4 and gdb 5.3
ELF targets usually don't prepend an underscore to symbol names

Make sure you compile with -g. If you don't generate
debug info for the variable, gdb will default to printing
it as an unknown symbol.
