 		 #124941 - Rules in C
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Neil Kurzman said:
Start the Pure C rules. Then break them as needed. Not on a whim but with though.

C has no rules about global variables. It has options to declare variables global, local or static. Variables have scope that is all, and as we have seen from other posts in this thread, the C scope rules are not generally well understood.
