Describe about storage allocation and scope of global extern static local and register variables in C

Globals have application-scope. They‘re available in any compilation unit that includes an

appropriate declaration (usually brought from a header file). They‘re stored wherever the linker

puts them, usually a place called the ―BSS segment.‖

Extern? This is essentially ―global.‖

Static: Stored the same place as globals, typically, but only available to the compilation unit that

contains them. If they are block-scope global, only available within that block and its subblocks.

Local: Stored on the stack, typically. Only available in that block and its subblocks.

(Although pointers to locals can be passed to functions invoked from within a scope where that

local is valid.)

the C compiler will not let you take the address of something you‘ve declared as ―register.‖
