Hello!

Following code is Producing an infinit loop, so main() is never reached

extern int main(void);
int main(void){
        while(1);
}
#include <avr\io.h>
/*Seed aus SRAM Zellen*/
static uint16_t seedram __attribute__ ((section (".noinit")));
void __init_seed(void) __attribute__ ((naked, section (".init8")));
// Bestimme seed aus zufälligem RAM-Inhalt
// !!! FUNKTION NICHT AUFRUFEN       !!!
// !!! FUNKTION WIRD AUTOMATISCH     !!!
// !!! IN .init8 vor main AUSGEFÜHRT !!!
void __init_seed (void)
{
        uint16_t s = 0;
        uint16_t *p = (uint16_t*) (RAMEND+1);
        extern uint16_t __noinit_start;

        while (p >= &__noinit_start + 1)
                s ^= *(--p);

        seedram = s;
}


is going to 

        while (p >= &__noinit_start + 1)
  8e:   81 e0           ldi     r24, 0x01       ; 1
  90:   e2 30           cpi     r30, 0x02       ; 2
  92:   f8 07           cpc     r31, r24
  94:   c0 f7           brcc    .-16            ; 0x86 <__init_seed+0x12>
                s ^= *(--p);

        seedram = s;
  96:   30 93 01 01     sts     0x0101, r19
  9a:   20 93 00 01     sts     0x0100, r18
}
  9e:   20 e0           ldi     r18, 0x00       ; 0
  a0:   30 e0           ldi     r19, 0x00       ; 0
  a2:   f9 cf           rjmp    .-14            ; 0x96 <__init_seed+0x22>

at line a2: an infinit loop starts and never leaves this function.

the Problem is only an Optimation levels O2 and O3
