RE: static CFSTR in C

Hmm, after reading the other e-mails I thought there must be something I'm
missing.

So I went and added in Globals.cp

CFStringRef gSomething = CFSTR("Something");

And in Globals.h I added

> extern CFStringRef gSomething;
>
>
And then in my main I added length = CFStringGetLength(gSomething); and the
result was 9.

What I am missing about declaring global CFStrings that people would go to
any more trouble that this? I had no problem at all using this outside of a
function. This has been true in both CFM and mach-o apps.
