Hey all.... I'm trying to do something that should be easy, but my compiler
doesn't allow me... I am trying to define a variable into a certain memory
position and then assign a default value for it....

#define _CLAVE1 ((uint16_t*)0xD000)

//This memory position is located on a flash memory
//of an embedded system and has to have the
//startup value of '99' but it will be changed from time
//to time from inside my program, which writes into the flash...
// so I try to define it's value, but my compiler says
// "_CLAVE1 redefined" if I do this

#define ((uint16_t*)0xD000) 99

//I've tried all sorts of combinations, and still, nothing works...

Any idea on how to define a memory position and it's initial value without
initialising the value from inside the program?
