Extern / Storage Class in C Sharp ?

Hi ,

I am a C Sharp newbie, and need to study its compiler internals as a
part of my small project. Does Microsoft provide compiler details e.g.
what kind of symbol table it uses etc ? I believe there is an
equivalent Linux implementation - Mono available . Would looking it up
help since its open source ? Any pointers to links would be a big help.
Thanks in advance,
vivekian

Take a look at Mono, I doubt MS provides any info about his stellar
compiler.

Note that it's implemented in C/C++ so you better be familiar with it

Hi vivekian,

Microsoft has a project called "Shared Source CLI" aka "Rotor", which
contains free source code for both a CLI-compliant runtime and compilers,
intended for academic purposes.

Check out: http://research.microsoft.com/programs/europe/rotor/

I have a few global variables in my app. They are defined in the main application class file and declared (extern) in a header which can be included by anyone who would want to use these variables. Two of the globals are pointers which are initialized at runtime. The others are classes whose values are initialized in the global space. When I had just the pointers, I didn't need to include the extern header in the defining class file. But...

I've seen some code with extern modifiers in front of variables declared inside blocks. Are these purely definitions (no definition) or are they definitions with static duration but external linkage? Not much on this in the FAQ or tutorials.

Hi all, I am reading "C: A Reference Manual" 4th ed and I get lost for the "extern". It says that global object without specifying the storage-class specifier will have "extern" as the default storage-class specifier. My (little) C experience tells me that an object with "extern" is to let the linker knows that the object is referencing the object defined in somewhere, and this "somewhere" object does not have the storage-class specifier...

Hi all, I wanted to know that is use of extern keyword mandatory in case of global variables and functions used in other source files? i.e consider a following piece of code from MSDN explaining extern storage class: /****************************************************************** SOURCE FILE ONE *******************************************************************/ extern int i; /* Reference to i, defined below */

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
