Defining global variables in MS VC++

nobodythere · 2007-04-29 02:04:13

My project's getting too big so I'm splitting it. I have a class that's used by a few functions in the main file so it's defined globally (outside the functions), but when I move this code to another file I can't access that class any more. Is there a way to make this a truly Global variable, across all files?

Have a read up on the extern keyword, that's for doing what you want.

Cheers, figured it out soon after posting from old source code. Who woulda thunk that I already knew it!
