Defining a static array into a C or C++ source file.
- by VansFannel
Hello.
I know this is a question that every programmer should know, but I do not know. Long time no C programming and I've forgotten a lot of things.
My question is:
I have three huge static arrays defined inside a header file. Someone told me that It's much better to declare them as extern in the header file, and define them in a single C or C++ source file.
How can I do that?
Here is my header file:
#ifndef _TEMPLE_OBJECT_H_
#define _TEMPLE_OBJECT_H_
#define NUM_TEMPLE_OBJECT_VERTEX 10818
static const float TEMPLEVertices[NUM_TEMPLE_OBJECT_VERTEX * 3] = {...};
static const float TEMPLENormals[NUM_TEMPLE_OBJECT_VERTEX * 3] = {...};
static const float TEMPLETexCoords[NUM_TEMPLE_OBJECT_VERTEX * 3] = {...};
#endif
If a use a C++ source file, may I need to define a class?
Thank you.
