Long time that I came out of C programming. I think the first set of files will never get linked for the want of definition of a variable called "x". Secound set defines and declares - I dont see a problem.
I think you just need to understand the difference between declaring and defining a variable in C. But, again I am told people dont learn C anymore at school. knk On 8/15/07, Aravindhan Krishnan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Whats the difference between the following declarations.? > > //file 1 > extern int x=8; > > // file 2 > extern int x; > > (AND) > > //file 1 > int x=8; > > // file 2 > extern int x; > > Thanks, > Aravindhan > >
