[Solved] where in memory are this variables stored on c? [closed]


  • global variables ——-> data
  • static variables ——-> data
  • constant data types —–> code and/or data. Consider string literals for a situation when a constant itself would be stored in the data segment, and references to it would be embedded in the code
  • local variables(declared and defined in functions) ——–> stack
  • variables declared and defined in main function —–> stack
  • pointers(ex: char *arr, int *arr) ——-> data or stack, depending on the context. C lets you declare a global or a static pointer, in which case the pointer itself would end up in the data segment.
  • dynamically allocated space(using malloc, calloc, realloc) ——–> heap

It is worth mentioning that “stack” is officially called “automatic storage class”.
