global-variables

Is it proper to use the term "global" in a relative sense?

Please assume the following contrived JavaScript: function do_something() { var x = 5; function alert_x() { alert(x); } alert_x(); } do_something(); The variable x is local to the function do_something. It isn't a global variable because it's not available in every scope (i.e., outside of either of the functions, such...

If a "Utilities" class is evil, where do I put my generic code?

I generally live by the rule that Global variables / functions are evil and that every piece of code should live in the class to which it pertains. This is a very easy rule to follow, and I believe that I haven't ever run into an issue with this rule until now. Today, however, I need to add a function to my assembly rather than to a sp...

On Linux, why does the destructor run twice on shared instance of global variable in C++?

On Linux I have some generated C++ code from a static library that defines a global variable. A single instance of this global variable is shared between two shared libraries that refer to its symbol. When the process shuts down and the static termination phase is run, I see that the destructor on this shared instance is run twice! Pr...

Keeping variables from dying in Beanshell

I'm trying to use Beanshell in a java application to execute "addon" files supplied by a user.
