Hi. I was wondering, is there a way to use CFSTR for a global variable in
C? Does something like this (outside of a function):
static const CFStringRef blah = CFSTR("blah");
results in this error:
error: initializer element is not constant

Do I need to use __attribute__((constructor)) or something else, or is
there some CoreFoundation trick to use?

How about:

#define blah CFSTR("blah")

Yes, there's been lots of talk on the list in the last day about evil macros (especially around type checking), but sometimes they're appropriate, and this one has the correct type.
