this is i.e. possible with dlopen and dlsym. All you've to do is to open the
actual "main":
handle = dlopen(NULL, ...);
and then dlsym the variable you wanne read:
dlsym(handle, "symbol");
Please note that "dlsym" may not give you the variable you expected to get.
Think that it is possible to define the same *static* variable name twice in
more then one .c file. Thus it may make sence to declare a *non static*
symbol which stores the addresses of your variables (declare a global
variable of structure type which stores all the pointers you need to access
in other .c files).
Another way is to declare those variables as non static (remove the static)
and to import them in all other .c files with *extern*.
I highly recommend you *not* exporting variables. Export functions instead.
