Yes he does. That's what constant data is. Plus there is no global memory
in shared libraries
try:
struct LibGlobalData
{
UInt32 Var[4][256];
...
}
In your LibOpen routine, lock the global pointer and populate Var. Since
you know the data that must go into Var, its a simple matter of assigning
the values to the array. Its an extra step but it beats banging your head
against a wall trying to figure out constants in structures especially when
you don't have access to global memory.
