Yes, definitively. Even without concurrent access, it very rapidly turns the code into an unscrutable mess. > or globals > are bad? Mostly, yes. As usual, this is not a hard rule but a guideline. But I use as few globals as possible, and almost all of them are read-only. The very few exceptions are dirty hacks, mostly called at init time. > or don't code using methods/functions?
