If you have two binaries — an application and a plugin — then each of those has independent global/static variables, even if those variables are declared in the same source files. The scope of globals is basically defined by the linker, and you've linked two independent binaries that have no magic connection to each other. If you want the two to share a variable, you'll need to: (a) define it in the plugin code, not the app (b) declare it as global not static, so it's visible outside that compilation unit (c) tell the linker to export that global from the plugin, e.g. by using an export file (d) make the app link against the plugin so it can access the variable —Jens
