defining a global within a function
Author
Is it possible to create a global object from within a function? Like if you have a class cat in a game, and the player goes and buys a cat, can you define a global cat from some function? Thanks.

I am a newbie- but wouldn''t the cat have enough scope in the class you called it from (it ideally should)?
And if it doesn''t then you could simply make an accessor function( cat* getCat()
from within the cat-calling class.
Or maybe singletons would help here?

If you ever find yourself in the situation where you think you have to do this, then you are not thinking properly. Either store the data to a global linked list or one in a singleton, or pass an object to the function and have the data stored within that object. A program should never ever have to make a global variable from within a function.
