I think for a static variable defined out of any functions, i.e., it is
a global variable, it is located in the data segment of the program.
How about a static variable defined within a function? it is a local
variable. Is it located at the stack?
And if the other more detailed answers are not sufficiently clear
to you:
NO. I have never encountered an implementation that stored
a static variable in the stack. Doing so would not be impossible
(provided the implementation has a stack at all), but it is enough
extra work to be unlikely to be the chosen mechanism; such an
implementation would, for example, have the side effect of being
unable to build dynamically loadable libraries.
