Re: static constants are not local to the file they're defined.

Thanks for your replies.
Apparently I made something wrong before because creating
a minimal example to post here I could use the declared constant only
in mylib.cpp.

What I don't get though is: why should I declare it static?
If I declare a simple const double variable I get the same a variable
that is only valid in mylib.cpp and not in the other files.

What does "static" actually do when declaring a global variable in mylib.cpp?
Can you post me some code where it does make a difference using static or not?
(as global variable, I get what static does inside the scope of a function).

Thanks for your help,
Luca
