extern variable from one addon to another addon

[Dheeraj Singh]

Hi Friends,

I have created two addons, what is expected is to extern a variable from one addon to another addon.

But when I extern the global variable declared in one addon to another.

In the addon where I am doing extern, I am getting symbol not defined error for that variable.

Please help me with a solution for this.

Also I do not want to pass that variable back to JS and then pass to another addon from there because of security constraints.

Code from  Addon1.node:

char libVersion[] = "test string";

Code from Addon2.node:

extern char libVersion[];

Thanks & Regards,

Dheeraj
