static variable in file scope

keyword 1:c static variable in file scope

keyword 2:c access static variable from another file

My Previous Research

1. static keyword in C++

My previous research on this static keyword.

2. What a C static variable in file scope means?

I have three files to demonstrate the use of static variable in file scope. Variable is declared as extern in file2.h, initialized in file2.c. I am declaring another variable with same name in main.c as static to test for static global scope. But I get the error message "main.c|6|error: static declaration of 'var1' follows non-static declaration.

Could someone explain me the usage of static for file scope?

If I do not include file2.h in main.c, I do not get any problem. But what if I need to use some functions of other files in main.c but still want to keep the variable scope to this file only?.

Can we access static variable from another file?

4. Chapter 3. Variable declaration

3.1.2. Static variables Any variable declaration may have the prefix “static”. Static variables in C have the following two properties:

1. They cannot be accessed from any other file. Thus, prefixes “extern” and “static” cannot be used in the same declaration.
2. They maintain their value throughout the execution of the program independently of the scope in which they are defined.

As a consequence of these two properties, the following two cases are derived:

1. If a static variable is defined outside of the functions it will be accessible only by the code that follows in the file it is declared.
2. If the static variable is declared in a function, it will only be accessible from the function, and it will keep its value between function executions.

   This behavior is counter intuitive because this variables are declared with the rest of variables in a function, but while the latter acquire new values with each execution, the static variables preserve these values between executions..

Can we change a global static variable from another file?

5. Access a global static variable from another file in C

In C language, I want to access a global static variable outside the scope of the file. Let me know the best possible way to do it. One of the methods is to assign an extern global variable the value of static variable,.

Why can't we access a global static variable from one file to another file?

6. Access of static variable from one file to another file

I recently came across the question like how to access a variable which declared static in file1.c to another file2.c?

Is it possible to access static variable?

My understanding about static keyword in C is,

static is "internal linkage", so they are accessible only from one compilation unit - the one where they were defined. Objects declared with internal linkage are private to single module..

How can we use static variable across multiple files?

7. How to use a static C variable across multiple files?

I have two C files 1.c and 2.c.

9. Static Variables in C

Static variables have a property of preserving their value even after they are out of their scope! Hence, static variables preserve their previous value in their previous scope and are not initialized again in the new scope. Syntax: .

10. Internal static variable vs. External static variable with Examples in C

The static variable may be internal or external depending on the place of declaration. Static variables are stored in initialised data segments.

Internal Static Variables: Internal Static variables are defined as those having static variables which are declared inside a function and extends up to the end of the particular function..

External Static Variables: External Static variables are those which are declared outside a function and set globally for the entire file/program.
