Global variables and scope - C++

Question

The kind of behavior you describe seems more like a problem when you have a DLL, but you are saying that your library is static, which looks weird.

Anyway, take care with global variables in multiple libraries, if you have a shared code library (DLL) you'll get a value for each part. Check out this question, can be useful.
