1. Open Watcom and Open Eu
Hello again,
Now that Eu will be open, many of us will be using Open Watcom
to compile our personal versions so here is a question...
The C++ keyword 'static' when used at file level is supposed
to keep a variable visible to that file only, yet it doesnt
seem to work, because even if you define a var as static
in one file if you go to define it in another file (also as
static) the compiler complains.
Example:
//in file A.h:
static abc;
//in file B.h:
static abc;
This generates compiler error:
" abc already defined " !!!
Any ideas?
Take care,
Al

I think you're confusing C with C++. Here's a page about the topic:

It sounds like you're writing C code, but compiling as C++ (Open
Watcom uses file extension to determine the language).

Hi Matt,
Yes, that's what i thought too, but everything else seems to work
as if cpp so i figured it was using cpp to compile.
The code resides in an .h file, so perhaps i need to make the
file name extension .hpp instead?
