VEX - global variables

[SteveNi]

Hi

Is it possible to modify, from inside a function, a variable that was declared outside that function?

For example this code wont work:

void functionX()
{    
    y = 5;
}

int y;
functionX();

Is there a way to reference that variable inside the function?

void functionX(int var)
{    
    var = 5;
}

int y;
printf(itoa(y) + "\n"); //printing out the current y value (0)

functionX(y); //we're now passing on the y variable into the function.

printf(itoa(y) + "\n"); //y should now be 5

int functionX()
{
	return 5;
}

int y = functionX();
printf(itoa(y));

Here's 2 methods of doing so.
