You never have to wonder what the

Since C isn't object oriented, the lifetime of objects in C is, um, any
number you like. "The lifetime of objects in <some language with no
objects> is ONE MILLION YEARS!!!" is as good as any other vacuously
true statement.
The implication that only an "object oriented" language could have a
concept of object lifetimes is false.
Only object-oriented languages have *objects*. C does not have objects,
it has values.
The word 'object' has many more meanings than the one implied by Object
Oriented Programming, as you well know.
And yes, I'm being pedantic.
No, you're being an ass.
