When I create a global variable in a CPP file, it would be nice to be able to generate an "extern" in the header file, e.g.:
CPP
int g_iMyGlobal = 0;
H
extern int g_iMyGlobal;
Apologies if this exists and I missed it! |

That makes sense, and I just wanted to make sure that I understood what you were thinking properly here  I have put in a feature request for this:

Yes, something like that, it's very similar to "Quick actions and re-factoring->Create Declaration". It would be an added "->Create Extern Declaration", and generates that line in the header.
Thank you! |

I don't know of any command for this, so I don't think you have missed one
How would VA know you are planning on making this an extern? Or just offer the option on any file scope variable in a cpp file? Since being a file scope, so "global" variable doesn't mean its an extern variable, not something we would want to try to do automatically. |
