If I have an include file such as:

PHP Code:

#if defined _pdata_offsets_inc
  #endinput
#endif
#define _pdata_offsets_inc

const m_pPlayer = 41;
const m_flNextPrimaryAttack = 46;
const m_flNextSecondaryAttack = 47;
const m_fInReload = 54;
... 


When I call #include <pdata_offsets_inc> from multiple plugins, will it allocate memory just once for these values or each time the include is called from each plugin?

Constants like these work as macros.

My understanding is that a macro such as:

PHP Code:

#define var 5

new szArray[16];

szArray[var] = 7;
szArray[2] = var; 


Uses twice as much memory as the following since #define is done in the preprocessor allocating the value 5 each time it is used within the code, while the const holds one place in memory where that value is stored

PHP Code:

const var 5

new szArray[16];

szArray[var] = 7;
szArray[2] = var; 


Is this wrong?

It doesn't allocate it, it is directly inserted in code section.

const var = 5

const works here the same as macro.

The memory requirements are going to be negligible regardless of how you do it. It's not worth trying to do micro-optimizations.
