We are doing what you have mentioned above, i.e. defining name of global
variables as function calls returning a pointer.
For example, in gdate.c,
static gboolean using_twodigit_years = FALSE;
would become
#if defined(__SYMBIAN32__) && defined(EMULATOR)
PLS(using_twodigit_years,gdate, gboolean)
#define using_twodigit_years (*FUNCTION_NAME(using_twodigit_years
,gdate)()
#else
static gboolean using_twodigit_years = FALSE;
#endif
where the PLS() macro will add the specified variable to the Process Local
Storage, and the define will map it to a function pointer.
This is repeated for all write-able static data (WSD).
