Hello all,

Thank you very much for all your replies. But the
project requirements are different. The problem is as
follows.

A main program shall be running. An user source
program is given as input to the main program. Along
with the source program, some variables present in the
source program shall also be specified. From the main
program, I need to inform the compiler to allocate
successive memory locations for these variables so
that they reside on the same memory page. 

The main program is not allowed to change the type of
the variables.

Please give suggestions.

Thanks,
Vinay
