Isn't it a good solution to make the portstatus variabele global so I
can set it with the callbackfuncions such as set_left_step() etc.. ?

Are you suggestig here to make the portstatus variabele non-global and
try to set it using pointers?

Can't I make the portstatus variabele local in the main() program and
use some kind of setter functions to set its value, without the use of
pointers ?
