Initiating a Struct with 1D and 2D array components in c

I have been having some trouble recently with creating a structure that is made from 1D and 2D arrays. The size of the arrays are big and I only want to initiate the struct. This is what I have so far:

#include<stdio.h>
struct frame{
int time[8000];
int number[8000];
int position[8000][480];
int xcoordinates[8000][480];
int ycoordinates[8000][480];};

int main(int argc, char **argv){
frame testing;
return 0;}

When I run this code, I get a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". What would be a possible solution to this problem?

Thank you for all your help!

size of `frame` is 44MB on 32bit system. Too large for the stack. use malloc. – BLUEPIXY Apr 30 '16 at 08:08

Agreed, too large for typically allowed stack sizes. In case you don't like `malloc()`, make the variable global or static – tofro Apr 30 '16 at 08:13
what about `struct frame testing;`? – user3078414 Apr 30 '16 at 08:14
@user3078414 Perhaps OP is using C++ as C. – BLUEPIXY Apr 30 '16 at 08:20
thanks, ran few tests - agree on stack size issue and a question duplicate. – user3078414 Apr 30 '16 at 08:49
