Local initial values are stored at?
c, segments
Solution
10 is a constant, so the compiler will use the number 10 directly in the executable part of your program as part of the CPU instructions.
Here's the assembly produced on my system with `gcc`:
movl $10, -4(%rbp)
(The `4` is because an `int` is 4 bytes long)
Note that all of these things are part of the implementation, but the above happens in practice. The language itself doesn't specify these details.
Problem
``` #include <stdio.h> int main() { int i = 10; return 0; } ``` In the above program, where exactly the value 10 is stored ? I understand the variable i is stored in the stack. stack is populated during run time. From "where exactly" 10 is coming from.
