I have a question for anyone who is willing to help me out in my time of
utter confusion.
I am doing a proof of concept (ergo little time for design, and therefor
not very well structured) for a project and am having problems with
certain global variables.
In the main application header file I create global variables for each
of the databases to be used by the application. I use the:
#ifndef <identifier>
#define <identifier>
#endif
group in order to include the contents of my header files only once
regardless as to how often it is included by other files. I must,
however, for some reason declare my globals as static since if I don't I
get multiple definition errors.
Now, I have 3 different files accessing these globals. Two of them work
fine, one does not. When I get to that file the database variable being
used seems to have been reset and so I get a rather nasty error when I
try to access it with the DmNumRecords function.
I really don't understand why the linker thinks there are multiple
declarations of these variables if not set static, and I do not
understand why two of the files would work and one would not. They all
have the proper headers included...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
