shared c constants in a header

Question

I want to share certain C string constants across multiple c files. The constants span multiple lines for readability:

const char *QUERY = \"SELECT a,b,c \"
         


        

Answer 1

In some .c file, write what you've written. In the appropriate .h file, write

extern const char* QUERY; //just declaration

Include the .h file wherever you need the constant

No other good way :) HTH
