Consider following program
======= begin of test.cpp ========
#include <stdio.h>

static inline void SetValue(int i)
{
  extern int g_iValue;

  g_iValue = i;
}

static inline int GetValue()
{
  extern int g_iValue;

  return g_iValue;
}



int g_iValue = 0;


int main()
{
  int iValueSave = GetValue();

  SetValue(1);
  printf("%d\n", GetValue());

  SetValue(iValueSave);

  return 0;
}
======= end of test.cpp ========
I use this apptoach to only publish get/set global variable accessors in header
while keeping variable itself hidden in cpp.

If compiled with optimizations turned on, compiler fails identify two local
"extern" declarations as a single memory object and uses initial value
retrieved for iValueSafe in call to printf as well (as if SetValue() was
unrelated to g_iValue).

If compiled and run, program outputs 0 instead of 1.
osx-leopard:build oder$ g++ -O3 -o test test.cpp
osx-leopard:build oder$ ./test
0

Output of "g++ -v" is:
