soft reset does not clear ram

[Linuxbuilders]

Hi,
I have strange problem.

After hard reset my board is setting itself into proper state but on occasions after I use reset_cpu(); ram is not cleared and it remembers old values.

I set my vars in the beggining of the program like for example:
int var = 0;

inside file -> #include "variables.c"

and I zero ram in the start of program:

#zero_ram
void main() { // main program
}

Any one got an idea why it may be happening?

Thnx

Always post your PIC and your compiler version.
The action taken by reset_cpu() is different, depending upon the PIC.

In addition, the question isn't quite clear.

#zero_ram can be expected to perform the (C standard) clearing of all global variables. It's performed in the main() preamble with CCS C.

int var = 0; defines an initialized local or global variables, for local ones the initialization is performed each time the function/block is entered. Local variables are not affected by #zero_ram, neither explicitely initialized global variables.

In my view, all of these variables would be initialized on a soft_reset(), because it's always executing main() a new.

For which kind of variable do you see missing initialization?

Thank you for reply,
I need to narrow the fault and then I will be back with more data. It happens on occasions so I need to do more testing.

Thnx
