Hi, I understand that this is off-topic, but still if some one has any ideas ... I have a global variable that is defined static in an object file (say 1.o). Now I want to be able to get the value of this variable in ANOTHER object file (say 2.o) without changing the source of 1.c. Any ideas, anyone? I know that as per C, this is not possible. But may be some clever hack?
