In InterViews-2.4 src/include/allegro/space.h there are the following lines: /* * Protocol definitions. */ const int objectspace_Find = 1; const int objectspace_Clone = 2; const int objectspace_Destroy = 3; Since this header file is included in several liballegro.a modules, the constants show up multiply defined at load time. Is this the proper c++ behavior? Should the loader recognize identical constant declarations and not report any message, and report an error if they are not identical for the same variable? In another similar vain, I had problems with initiatized static members in a class header file (multiply defined symbols). What is the solution?
