It's not exactly what I would call peculiar ("odd"); rather
it simply enforces that a given variable definition only
occurs once.

One approach might be to create a single file named
"foo_globals.h" (given project named "foo") with the
contents something like the following:
#ifndef FOO_GLOBALS_H
#define FOO_GLOBALS_H 1
#include <sys/types.h>
#ifdef DEFINE_GLOBALS
#define EXTERNALREF
#else
#define EXTERNALREF extern
#endif
/*
* Global Variables
*/
EXTERNALREF unsigned gNumSims;
#endif /* FOO_GLOBALS_H */
All source files in your project that access the global variables
would #include "foo_globals.h" (possibly indirectly). For an
application, I would nominally have a minimal project header
(appropriately named "foo.h") which contained the following:
#ifndef FOO_H
#define FOO_H 1
#include "foo_types.h" /* project-specific typedefs */
#include "foo_globals.h"
#endif /* FOO_H */
In the source file containing the main() function
(normally "foo.c"), you would prepend the preprocessor value
prior to including any project-specific headers.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define DEFINE_GLOBALS 1
#include "foo.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
...
}
