Yes, but that is *not* a static variable (you'd have prefix the
declaration with the keyword "static", or move it outside main).

Uninitialised static variables are traditionally allocated in a
section of memory called BSS (i.e. not on the stack or in a register
like "var" in the code above). This section is zeroed by the OS when
the executable is loaded into memory.
