In the following code where I create a struct locally (within main) and then globally (outside main):
Car new = {.name="New Car"};
CarPtr newer = & (Car) {.name = "Newer Car"};
int main(void) {
printf("New car name: %s\n", new.name);
printf("Newer car name: %s\n", newer->name);
// note: all the below will have automatic storage and are initialized on the stack
// need to allocate memory (or make global if we want longer)
Car ford = {
.name = "Ford F-150",
.price = 25000
};
}
Is the following understanding correct of where the structs will be stored?
- The local structs inside a function -- in this case main -- will be stored on the stack -- and so once that function is exited the variables/stack will be unreachable.
- The global structs are stored in
data(where would the pointer be stored?).
Where are the global structs and pointers stored?
