you dont need to use globals at ALL really.
create a structure containing your "globals" and then.. when you init
the application:
a) allocate memory
b) register the pointer as a feature
when you need to access globals:
c) get the pointer from the feature
when you finished:
d) get the pointer from the feature
e) free the memory
check out the sources to Cube3D (new) that you can get from here:
http://www.ardiri.com/index.cfm?redir=palm&cat=cube3D
you should be able to use this technique to get around problems with
shared libs, multiple code segments etc.. its a much better design
than using plain old globals :)
my sources are available to help you guys.. use em :)
cheers.
