OK, the following code does not seem to actually define the variable - just take a look at the asm produced by gpc!

Unit Testing;

Interface

Var TheBug : __Volatile__ Integer;

Implementation

End.

To work around this bug you can use the code below:

Unit Testing;

Interface

Var TheBug : __Volatile__ __AsmName__ 'Thebug' Integer; TheBug : Integer;

Implementation

Begin Asm(".globl _Thebug"); End.

WHY: The __AsmName__? GPC defines '_thebug' instead of '_Thebug' (capital) The second definition? GPC does not define TheBug with __Volatile__. It knows that 'TheBug' exists, but it does not output it into the asm. The explicit .globl? GPC forgets to do this!
