#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
static int i = 1;
void cal();
printf("%d\n",i );
cal();
}
void cal()
{
printf("%d\n",i );
}
hi im totally confused abt static, extern local variables even after going through enough material abt them. for example in the above example i get an error as undeclared i in cal() function even after having declared i as static variable in main function. isnt a static variable supposed to exist in between different functions. then why should i define it again in cal() function. can anyone clear this basic question.

Because it's not global,it's local static int which is initialised inside main,declare it before main and everything will be OK.

Hi,
I am reading Stroustrup's book 'C++ Programming Language'. In the
10.4.9 section (Nonlocal Store) he says:
"A variable defined outside any function (that is global, namespace,
and class static variables) is initializated (constructed) before main
is invoked . . ."

How do I (portably) make a forward reference to a static (I mean

I've been using "extern" for years, for example:

Hi everyone
Is there a real need to use keyword static with functions, if we
simply don't declare their prototypes in .h file?
Many textbooks avoid to discuss this matter and/or discuss only the
usage of static functions. I've been programming for years and I never
felt a real need for the "static approach for functions".
I don't know if this is a trivial matter since the reserved word

Hello,
I learned that there are five kinds of static objects, namely
1. global objects
2. object defined in namespace scope
3. object declared static instead classes
4. objects declared static inside functions (i.e. local static
objects)
5. objects declared at file scope.

Hi,
I'm using a static library in my application which links fine except
for a few global variables. The static library only contains a bunch
of .cpp and .h files and the global variables are defined as follows:
extern unsigned mgl_numg, mgl_cur;
extern float mgl_fact;
extern long mgl_gen_fnt;
extern short mgl_buf_fnt;

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
