C语言extern关键字定义外部变量--Redis源码extern使用

在Redis2.8中有networking.c，这个文件没有networking.h

networking.c首先引入redis.h这个头文件

#include "redis.h"

在redis.c一开始就声明了全局变量

/* Global vars */
struct redisServer server;

networking.c的createClient函数

redisClient *createClient(int fd) {
    redisClient *c = zmalloc(sizeof(redisClient));

    /* passing -1 as fd it is possible to create a non connected client.
     * This is useful since all the Redis commands needs to be executed
     * in the context of a client. When commands are executed in other
     * contexts (for instance a Lua script) we need a non connected client. */
    if (fd != -1) {
        anetNonBlock(NULL,fd);
        anetEnableTcpNoDelay(NULL,fd);
        if (server.tcpkeepalive)
            anetK
