Using an Object declared in main() inside a header

[Rajesh_Parameswaran]

Hi all, I've declared an object of type CTestLogger in my main function. Now I want that object to be accessed in one of the global function, which is defined in a header file. Please find the code snippet and Suggest me a solution if i'm wrong.!! NB: I cant modify the parameters of the global function: Display_Printf() ============================================================================= #include "Debug_Print.h" void main() { CTestLogger bac; Initialize_Logger(&bac); Display_Printf(); DeInitialize_Logger(); bac.SetMessage("Message From Main"); Initialize_Logger(&bac); Display_Printf(); Display_Printf("Custom Message From Main"); DeInitialize_Logger(); } ============================================================================= #include #include class CTestLogger { char pTestMessage[1024]; public: CTestLogger() { strcpy(pTestMessage, "Default Message"); cout << "Constructor" << endl; } void SetMessage(char *pMessage) { strcpy(pTestMessage, pMessage); } ~CTestLogger() { cout << "Destructor" << endl; } void DisplayMessage() { cout << "Display Message :: " << pTestMessage << endl; } }; ============================================================================= #include #include "Custom_Header.h" CTestLogger *g_pTestLogger = NULL; // MUST BE CALLED before invking both the Display_Printf() void Initialize_Logger(CTestLogger *pTestLogger) { g_pTestLogger = pTestLogger; } void Display_Printf() { if (g_pTestLogger) g_pTestLogger->DisplayMessage(); else cout << "Invalid CTestLogger Pointer" << endl; } void Display_Printf(char *pMessage) { if (g_pTestLogger) { g_pTestLogger->SetMessage(pMessage); g_pTestLogger->DisplayMessage(); } else cout << "Invalid CTestLogger Pointer" << endl; } // MUST DEINITIALIZE IF Initialze_Logger is called.!!!!!! void DeInitialize_Logger() { g_pTestLogger = NULL; } ============================================================================ thanks in advance Rajesh

No can do. bac is only accessible by main(). Why did you supply such a large code (irrelavant) snippet? :confused:
