Actually one thing to say. I've add name to the buffer in one member function, and get a string from one member function in the same class.

Then later I want to get that string from a buffer. So I do the following.

what does exactly mean later on (is there a chance that buff var was overwritten in the meantime?)?

Ok, thanks a lot pal. Now I got the point. At the same time. One of friend says that, as a good practice in programming, as much as possible it is better to avoid global variables and used member variables. Is that true?

Why I'm asking is, one is that I'm really new for C++, two is I most familiar with Java and there is no such a way, so that those tips can be really helpful to me

Well if you're familiar with Java then you should be familiar with OOP principles too, such encapsulation and information hiding that both go against global variables usage.
