Summary: Global variable not generated

Initial Comment:
when I compile the following code, ep_bdt is not generated. I have to add the dummy function below to make it works.
It seems really strange : such a global variable could be used in an other module, so it has to be generated even if not used in the current module.

command used : sdcc -mpic16 -p18f4455 -c file.c

SDCC version : SDCC : pic16 2.6.1 #4471 (Nov 12 2006) (UNIX)


#include <pic18fregs.h>

/* Buffer descriptors Table */
volatile int __at (0x400) ep_bdt[32];

void dummy_function(void)
{
    ep_bdt[0]; // makes the compiler happy !
}
