  2. External variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_variable

    The static keyword (static and extern are mutually exclusive), applied to the definition of an external variable, changes this a bit: the variable can only be accessed by the functions in the same module where it was defined. But it is possible for a function in the same module to pass a reference (pointer) of the variable to another function ...

  3. stdarg.h - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stdarg.h

    stdarg.h is a header in the C standard library of the C programming language that allows functions to accept an indefinite number of arguments. [1] It provides facilities for stepping through a list of function arguments of unknown number and type. C++ provides this functionality in the header cstdarg.

  4. Compatibility of C and C++ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_of_C_and_C++

    Likewise, for C code to call a C++ function bar(), the C++ code for bar() must be declared with extern "C". A common practice for header files to maintain both C and C++ compatibility is to make its declaration be extern "C" for the scope of the header: [21]

  5. Global variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_variable

    Such extern declarations are often placed in a shared header file, since it is common practice for all .c files in a project to include at least one .h file: the standard header file errno.h is an example, making the errno variable accessible to all modules in a project.

  6. Forward declaration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_declaration

    Forward-declaration is used to avoid unnecessary coupling which help reducing compilation time by reducing the number of header inclusion. This has a triple advantage: reduce the number of files opened by #include (hence the number of operating system calls) reducing the volume of the pre-processed files (as the header is not included)

  7. unistd.h - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unistd.h

    In the C and C++ programming languages, unistd.h is the name of the header file that provides access to the POSIX operating system API. [1] It is defined by the POSIX.1 standard, the base of the Single Unix Specification, and should therefore be available in any POSIX-compliant operating system and compiler.

  8. C++ Standard Library - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++_Standard_Library

    C++23 instead considers these headers as useful for interoperability with C, and recommends against their usage outside of programs that are intended to be both valid C and C++ programs. No other headers in the C++ Standard Library end in ".h". Features of the C++ Standard Library are declared within the std namespace.

  9. Include directive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Include_directive

    The C preprocessor (used with C, C++ and in other contexts) defines an include directive as a line that starts #include and is followed by a file specification. COBOL defines an include directive indicated by copy in order to include a copybook. Generally, for C/C++ the include directive is used to include a header file, but can
