How do I declare a global variable in C?
I am starting to use C. I have a problem to define a global variable. For example. platformID is used in install.c. I declared in main.c but still I got the error:
install.c | 64 | error: "platformID" uneclared (use in this function first) |
main.c:
#ifdef __APPLE__
#include <OpenCL/opencl.h>
#else
#include <CL/cl.h>
#endif
cl_int err;//the openCL error code/s
cl_platform_id platformID;//will hold the ID of the openCL available platform
cl_uint platformsN;//will hold the number of openCL available platforms on the machine
cl_device_id deviceID;//will hold the ID of the openCL device
cl_uint devicesN; //will hold the number of OpenCL devices in the system
#include "include/types.h"
#include "include/gaussian.h"
#include "include/args.h"
#include "include/files.h"
#include "refu/Time/rfc_timer.h"
#include <stdio.h>
...
install.c
#include "include/types.h"
#include "include/gaussian.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <sys/types.h> // mkdir
#include <sys/stat.h> // mkdir
#ifdef __APPLE__
#include <OpenCL/opencl.h>
#else
#include <CL/cl.h>
#endif
#define MAX_SOURCE_SIZE (1048576) //1 MB
#define MAX_LOG_SIZE (1048576) //1 MB
// Install: build kernel
bool buildKernels(char ** path,FILES * files, int count )
{
int c; // number of file
if(clGetPlatformIDs(1, &platformID, &platformsN) != CL_SUCCESS)
{
printf("Could not get the OpenCL Platform IDs\n");
return false;
}
if(clGetDeviceIDs(platformID, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_DEFAULT, 1,&deviceID, &devicesN) != CL_SUCCESS)
{
printf("Could not get the system OpenCL device\n");
return false;
}
...
How do I declare a global variable so that it is visible in the included file? Can you help fix this?
