Re: [cdt-dev] (file-) static variables

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I can add isStatic() to the IVariable interface.  (I've already put it in
ICPPMember for my own use)
The 2nd item is a bug, I raised bug 85824 in bugzilla.  That shouldn't be
ambiguous, the first globalVar is a declaration, the second the definition,
they refer to the same variable.

If you find other bugs, or additional things that might need to be added to
the interfaces, its always good to raise a bug in bugzilla.
