[Gllug] data segment vs stack

[t.clarke]

Hi

Apologies if this question seems silly,  but I am just curious as to whether
the variables declared in the 'main()' function of a C program are created
in the program's stack (in the same manner as variables declared in any
'subsidiary' functions), or in the data segment  (which is where I assume
'global' variables are created?)

Can anyone enlighten me or point to a web resource that explains ?

Tim
