How do I tell C to define the array in the .data section, and not the .bss section?

I tried this:

char source[16344]; 

But it seems to define `source` inside the .bss section; that's not what I want.

It's just not practical to use this char source []= {0, 0, 0, ... kind of definition, due to the size of the array.

Oh, {} syntax doesn't have to include all the entries; that's nice.

Nice thing there's this page:
How to initialize an array in C - Stack Overflow

char source [16344]= {0}; 

It works now.

Interesting - I didn't know you could do the {0} thing...and I've been programming in C for nearly 8 years now. :D
