Abstract: Common coupling (sharing global variables across modules) is a metric for software quality, and has been used in studies of maintainability. But when the global variables in question are large data structures, one must decide whether to consider such data structures as complete units, or whether to consider each of their fields individually. We explore this issue by analyzing a case study based on the Linux system. We find that for this case the granularity does not have a decisive e#ect... (Update)
