Of course I agree.
A reason for using global variables in a DLL might be to access that
value as well in the DLL as in the main program.
Is this even possible ?
Yes, this is possible.
(To allow for this loading the DLL would need to modify the variable's
address anywhere within the DLL code. Up til now I only know about the
the "jump table interface" that allows the main code to call DLL
functions. )
On *nix systems this is easy, as they don't have these indirect
references. On Windows it needs support on the side which uses the
variable and at least in theory FPC should support this (though it might
be buggy).
