Re: [U-Boot] use of global static variables?

With the relocation changes are global statics variables ok if we know code is called after relocation?

Yes, they should work as expected after relocation.

Prior to relocation you should be able to read the values of the global statics if they are initialized to a non-zero value, but not modify them.

Correct. And in some places we enable these even for zero valued variables by using the old trick of writing

int foo __attribute__ ((section(".data"))) = 0;

Best regards,
