Subject: Question about static vs global variables

Author: Derek Mauro

Date: 13:56:19 10/26/01

As far as I can tell, static and global variables seem to be equally efficient,
the only difference being that statics have a limited scope.  Am I right, or is
one actually more efficient than the other?  Is there any advantage to passing
around a static or a global?  I've always read that globals should be avoided.
Is there any performance reason why?

Thanks for your help in advance.
