This is just a warning.

there are some potential issues with uninitialized common symbols, but i cannot remember the details.

bottom line, they should be avoided :
- declare global variables as static if the scope is only one source file
- always initialize global variables

Cheers,

Hello all

While doing a 'make install' with some additional code written by me, I get the following message:
WARNING!  Common symbols found:
Doing a search on previous mails, I found the following thread that is pertinent:
https://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2015/04/17220.php

However, I could not find out exactly what this warning/error is trying to tell me: is there a multiple definition of a global symbol? (that should be an error, not a warning, right?)

Thanks in advance
