Even if this not what he meant, file scope is /not/ global
why not if you must use the word it's a reasonable usage.
If you mean "global" to ba an alias for "external linkage"
why not use the term?
I have no problem with people using the term, if they take care with
it. My remarks were about Just Plain Richard's suggestion that "file
scope is global". That is just plain wrong.
In addition, care is needed when talking to people who only know
languages where "global" is a scope. If we take the usual "global
variable = object with external linkage" meaning then C has the odd
property (odd as far as such people are concerned) that the name of a
"global variable" might be "in scope" only inside two tiny functions
out of a million lines of code.
