These declarations in common.h would cause a separate instance of these
pieces of storage to occur in every object file where the .h file had been
#included. In general, you should not expect to see any static declarations
in .h files.
Save static inline functions, that is.




Yeah, but not normally data items. (I did say "in general"). As a general rule for novice C programmers I think my rule of thumb is reasonable.
