Do you mean to instruct the compiler to use a specific register for a
variable ?

For example "use @a34 to store fsm_state" ??

No this is not possible.
All allocations are done by the compiler.
This is true even for assembly code thath is
embedded in a microC source file.

You can only instruct the compiler that you want a specific variable
to be placed in a register. Which ever register the compiler wants.

I remember some cases where eventhough I had used the __declspec(gp_reg)
for a variable, the compiler kept on mapping it to the scratch with no
complains/error messages. If you encounter this problem too, then
mosto probably it'll be another compiler bug.
