Why you would need such a global variable in the first place? It really
sounds like a bad design decision. In any case you can do something =
like:


namespace whatever
{
// Your variable
  int x;

  inline void write(int y) { x=3Dy; }
  inline int read() { return x; }
}



or use a class. In any case I can't understand why you need it to be =
global.

I assume you need random access?
