As Alan noted, you will know at the time when the variables does not fit
unless you have supressed that error. Also look at Olin's code, although
not for everyone, they will give you pointers and ideas to develop your
own environment. Anyway this is also something that you would use the
linker
control file for. For example on the 18F452 you have quite ample amount
of ram,
there you probably want to keep buffers inside on ram bank only, in that
case add:

SECTION         NAME=3DBUFFER_BANK      RAM=3Dgpr3

At the end section of the linker control file.

Then when you 'declare'the ram you use by the following syntax:

BUFFER_BANK     UDATA           ; buffer ram selected
RX_Buffer       RES RX_BUFFER_SIZE      ; buffer for receving, internal
uart
TX_Buffer       RES TX_BUFFER_SIZE      ; buffer for sending, internal
uart

The data will then be reserved in the bufferbank. Use this to 'partion'
your
ram usage. For example global ram in one bank, local for routines in
another etc.
