Globals have a static storage duration: C99 6.2.4: 3 An object whose identifier is declared with external or internal linkage, or with the storage-class specifier static has static storage duration. Its lifetime is the entire execution of the program and its stored value is initialized only once, prior to program startup. -- Clark S. Cox III [EMAIL PROTECTED]
