Abstract:
Within a data processing system, a user-entered data declaration within a program source file is inspected to determine whether a first qualifier is provided with or omitted from the user-entered data declaration. If the first qualifier is provided, an unreserved data storage location disposed within a data-processing integrated-circuit (IC) device is identified and allocated for storage of data associated with the user-entered data declaration.
