编译时出现multiple definition of `xxxxxx'的解决办法

出错原因：一般是因为在头文件里进行了定义或者实例化，导致多重定义，记住在头文件里只进行声明。

1、Don't define variables in headers. Put declarations in header and definitions in one of the .c files.

In config.h

extern const char *names[];

In some .c file:

const char *names[] =
    {
        "brian", "stefan", "steve"
    };

If you put a definition of a global variable in a header file, then this definition will go to every .c file that includes this header, and you will get multiple definition error because a varible may be declared multiple times but can be defined only once.

2、You must never instantiate（实例化）things in header files, i.e. never define anything, just declare them.

You should put a single definition of each declared thing in one of the C files, and have extern declarations in the shared header:

In mydata.h:

struct Foo {
  float baryness;
  float baziness;
};

extern struct Foo TheFoo;

In one C file:

#include "mydata.h"

struct Foo TheFoo; //实例化

In other headers in the project:

#include "mydata.h"

printf("the baziness is %f right now\n", TheFoo.baziness);
