about static variable

Hello everyone,


I have heard that static variable will make the program consume very much
memory. It is because garbage collector (GC) will not work on static variable.
Is that correct?

I am also wondering when does the memory space of a static variable is
allocated, during compile or during runtime?


thanks in advance,
George
