A small request for C programmers: no static locals

Wandering Thoughts | Dec. 9, 2010, 12:18 a.m. | Original

I have a small suggestion for C programmers: please don't use staticfunction local variables. Yes, I know, they've been part of C for avery long time, they are kind of nifty, and they're sometimes nice. Butstill, please use a file level static variable instead, which has justthe same effects.

The fine documentation for DTrace's kernel function tracer contains a little note that you mighteasily miss if, like me, you were just skimming:

The first thing to know is that DTrace does not have any useful errormessages when you run into this. Instead of a helpful note about, say,'this
