ok, first i'd like to apologize for bringing up such a tired subject, but i'd like to understand this better.
conventional wisdom says that you should avoid using globals. reading through some C books like the deitel book which is used at UCD and SAMS "C primer plus", i find that they don't really address this issue at all. when i talk to people, i hear the same two reasons over and over: 1. name clashing 2. readability what i'd like to know is if this is all there is. are there more reasons why we should follow conventional wisdom? or is this more of a guiding principle and not something to be followed blindly? it seems like for some applications, like GUI and multi-thread programming, the use of globals can really simplify things a lot. please no sarcasm or flames -- just lucid explanations. i'd like to understand this better. pete -- Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
