I know this is a really sad question to ask, but please tell me... how and when should I ever use extern?
I recall an example that Narue showed me but even if I read through the definition from MSDN.com as well as other sources, I still can't quite understand the whole "extern" call.
If someone could please provide me with an example, that would be great. I'll keep looking it up and experimenting in the mean time.
