Petrus, The code is at <ftp://ftp.transpac.com/globals/>. As mentioned in Steve Mann's reply, the article in on his CD. As to responses from Aaron Ardiri and Richard Hartman, yes there are a variety of methods for implementing dynamic heap data storage that persists during the lifetime of a shared library session. The reason I implemented support for C-style globals is that I also had a large body of existing code with many functions that required global access (the Japanese input method for the Palm), so the easiest and fastest way to port it to a shared library was to implement support for A4-based globals. -- Ken At 12:00am -0700 00-07-01, Palm Developer Forum digest wrote: >Subject: Globals in shared libraries and virtual drivers. >From: "Petrus Wrangö" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 09:24:43 +0200 >X-Message-Number: 1 > >Official information states that 'real' globals canot be used in a shared >library. >What I want to know is: Can I use globals in serial and virtual drivers? >How? > >I'm also interested in using globals in shared libs, despite official info. > >Anyone knows the whereabouts of this article?: >"PalmOS Shared-Library Globals," by Ken Krugler Ken Krugler TransPac Software, Inc. <http://www.transpac.com> +1 530-470-9200 -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
