变量的存储类型（Storage type for variables） Storage type for variables In the C++ language, variables usually have 4 storage types, namely, extern, static, register, and auto. Heres one by one. Extern storage type Before you introduce the extern storage type, first clarify a concept -- declarations and definitions of variables. A declaration of a variable tells the compiler the name and data type of the variable. The definition of the variable allocates the storage area for the variable. Typically, variable declarations are also considered variable definitions. However, you can use the extern keyword to declare only variables without defining them. Such as: Extern int var; What are the advantages of declaring only without defining variables? In general, an application may contain many files, and if you define a global variable in a file, you may need to access it in other files. Then, in other files, you can use the extern keyword to declare only the global variables without defining them, and the extern keyword tells the compiler the name and type of the variable, and the definition of the variable is derived from the previous file. This allows you to share global variables in other files. For example, define a shaping global variable VaR in a file. Int var = 0; In another file, you can access the global variable VaR in the file by declaring the global variable var using the extern keyword. Extern int var; Static storage type Before introducing the static storage type, first introduce the local variables and global variables. Variables can be divided into local variables and global variables depending on their scope of action. A local variable is a variable defined within a function, and the local variable will disappear after the function call ends. A global variable is a variable defined outside a function whose lifetime ends with the end of the program. Static storage type is mainly for local variables, if you define a static local variable, its lifetime will remain at
