File Global Variables in oct Files

[Thomas D. Dean]

I have an application that has several files.

Most of the functions in these files reference variables declared in one 
file.

file1.cc
int xxx;
void file1(...)
  xxx = 3;
  file2(...);
...
)

file2.cc
extern int xxx
void file2(..._
  if (xxx == 3) xxx++;
...
}

etc.

Is this a problem in oct files?

I plan to change the header in file1 to an octfile and

mkoctfile file1.cc file2.cc ...

Will global variables in c++ code, like xxx, cause a problem?
