.so and top level static

oomakoo · 12-05-2001, 09:34 PM

I have a program that is invoked many times simultaneously. The program uses a dynamic library. In the library there is a top level static integer that I want to have a unique value for each invocation of my program.

Q: will the value of this integer be unique for each invocation of my program?

I've tried it and it seems to work but I would like to double check my results.

depending on the language.

In C, use a #define
in java. declare it static final
etc.

as long as you're using the language's method of making sure that the number doesn't get changed, it won't get changed.

I am using C and the variable in the .so is a static int.

My program calls one of the functions in the .so and initialises it to a unique value. Then control returns back to the program. Then, I call a different function in the .so and use the value in the static int.

If another invocation of the program is using the same .so will it over-write the value in the static int?

Should I have posted this to the C board?
