Given file foo.cc:
const
int arr[] = {0};
compiled to foo.o, and file bar.cc:
extern
const
int arr[];
int main() {
return arr[0];
}
compiled and linked with foo.o, you get:
s3:~/ootbc/personal/ivan$ g++ bar.cc foo.o
/tmp/ccsMPoJa.o: In function `main':
bar.cc:(.text+0x6): undefined reference to `arr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
It works if the array isn't const.
