I have a set of variables that I want to share across mulitple c++
files. I was using the extern method so far. Is there any other way to
do the same. The variables are not constants and I get the values
during run time. 6 1726 aw********@gmai l.com wrote:

extern is the way you do it normally, other than passing the variables as
parameters.

thanks for the reply. yes i should have also mentioned that i did not
want to pass the variables all the time. the reason i am looking for
alternate ways is after learning that memory for global variables is
reserved in the heap and a lot of global variables can create problems
for a program.

Not usually. They go in the same memory area as static data.

Well, as far as memory usage, maybe. But more important is that they
introduce sneak paths for data modification, which can make program
analysis and maintenance harder. Sometimes sharing is unavoidable, of
course.

I have one project where I am forces to use global variables because of the
engine I am using having multiple callbbacks and it's impossible for me to
pass the data. One thing I did was I put all the global variables in a
structure and have just one instance of the structure. I'm not sure if it
simplifies anything, but it helps.

the structure idea is actually novel. how about if u just include the
prog that has the variables defined in them, and call a function from
the new one to the old one?
will that work?

Sounds like a very bad C callback mechanism. It is a "C" callback mechanism
because otherwise it would have allowed generic functors and full compile
time type checking on the given functions and arguments. It is a "bad C
callback mechanism" because otherwise it would take in one form or another
an opaque argument (usually under the form of a "void*" argument) to
register along with the callback and that value is passed back to the
callback, the argument usually being used to transmit state from the code
registering the callback to the callback.
Yeah, organizing the data to be shared in a struct may help (it is usually
required with the "void*" passing method described above).

Hello,
This question is related to sharing .Net projects across solutions and is
reposted from the SourceSafe group.
We have several different solutions and want to share common assemblies
across them. Is it best to share the project and its files to each solution
(each solution has it's own shared project), or have each solution point to
the same file location of the project?

Hi,
I was of the understanding that Session variables were GLOBALLY scoped
across all Applications on a specific web site and that data obtained and
stored in "variables" were available for other applications - it seems I was
wrong.
It appears that the data is held on a per-application instance ie. Each
applications data is "sand-boxed" from other apps and cannot be referenced.

The idea started as a single sign on type of application. Having tested it
before, I knew we could institute single sign on using the same
Authentication Cookie name (in this case "AuthenticationCookie" -- yeah,
original, I know) and the same machine keys for the applications.
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="AuthenticationCookie" path="/"
loginUrl="login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="10" />

I'm doing a console app with different modules for different functions

AppPath, etc.
What is the "best practice" concerning a situation like this?
