So I have this project with some modules that have functions which are
called by "main", and occasionally some functions that may also be
called by other functions within that same module.
|----> module1.c
main.c ----|----> module2.c
|----> module3.c
|----> etc.
I have many #includes and #defines and some structures and functions and whatnot that i want to be global.
I have been building these projects in the CVI environment where all
the .c files are lumped in the "source files" box, and all the includes
in the "include files" box.
Apparently I am doing something wrong, because all of my "globals" are
only global in scope within it's own module ... including those in
"main.c"
Which means I had to repeat certain declarations within each module
that requrires them, with led to problems with multiply defined
functions, etc...
the obvious solution (i thought) was to exclude the modules from the
build environment, and #include them explicitly within my main.c
program... this worked nicely for a while, until it came time to
debug in the environment debug window -- then i noticed all of the line
numbers and positioning notations were skewed way off, and it became
very difficult to trace debug any errors to their source.
I vaguely recall this issue being addressed back in my programming
class days ... so its probably some simple and well-known issue,
and I'm just lagging behind everyone else.
but i sure would appreciate it if someone could clue me in.
Thanks!
