Hi,

is there a compiler switch that places uninitialized data into the segment/ section for initialized data (init with zero) instead of BSS ?

No. But if you explicitly init it with 0, it will go into initialized data:

int x;    // BSS
int y = 0; // initialized data

Yes, that's what I did with the largest bunch of data. However, under some circumstances (tons of source code) it's difficult to be sure that every variable was changed.
