No, that's the point of a global. Inheritance and all doesn't matter. |

You change main.c (2 lines): |
| 9 |
char* progname = 0; |
| 10 |
... |
| 11 |
progname = argv[0]; |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
main.h (1 line): |
| 14 |
extern char* progname; |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
and the source file where you want to use it it (2 lines): |
| 17 |
#include "main.h" |
| 18 |
... |
| 19 |
printf("progname is %s\n", progname); |
| 20 |

Your details might vary, for example if there is already a globals.h |
| 22 |
you could move the declaration from main.h to there, etc. But this |
| 23 |
really is the sane way of doing this... |
