Counters and Functions
Is it better to a) declare a new counter in every function that needs one. b) parse an existing counter in main() as an argument into each function. c) declare the counter as a global variable. Or any other suggestions welcome =).
Just wondering what would be better coding standards or does it not really not matter.
Thanks.

The a) is a better.
It's thread safe if the counter is not static data.
It's easy to support.

In that case, a) is not just better, it is the only acceptable way.
Variables should always be as local as possible.
