Re: Header compilation

[Joe Durusau <durusau at delphi dot com>]

    If I understand you correctly, you mean that your header file has things in
it
like:

int    globalvar1;

If that's what you mean, it's not good practice, and most compilers won't
allow it.  A better way is to declare the variables external in the .h file,
and place the variables themselves in s single module that is compiled and
linked with your other c files.  Some c compilers will let you do the kind
of thing I mentioned above, but most won't.

Speaking only for myself,
