Sigh, what a pain. I'm probably better off just rewriting the thing to get rid of the global, even if it makes the interface less convenient.

I might be actually better off using C++ :p

Thanks :)

If a shared library uses a global variable that is not exported, does each process that uses that library get a copy of that variable?

For example, in the library in the source for one of the...

printf( "%.2f", .650 );

will print .65 substitute the 2 with 3 or however many digits you want. Keep in mind that it will always be that many digits.

So,

printf( "%.2f", .656 );

will...

Ouch :p

It's finals time and I haven't slept much this past week. . .

Rest assured that it all is correct inside the actual source file. gcc is good about complaining when the code is that...

Sorry, I was trying to not show parts that are unnecessary. To point out your arguments, which are absolutely rational from only seeing that fragment, I'll admit:

When that happens, the best thing to do is to step away from your code for an hour or two.

It's something I read in a GNU doc somewhere - I just had to implement it. It calls malloc, checks for the null pointer and kills the program if it finds one.

I figure if the runtime system can't...

Yup, that did it. Thank you for the help. :)

Yes, bar should = foo. That was just a typo on my part and they are indeed the same values in my code.

Unfortunately, you don't win at the error guessing game :p Here's the error I get:

Hi, new to these boards and they seem like a great place to spend some time. I have a question about double pointers to structs that I'm hoping someone can help me out with. If I have a double...
