Exceptions to C99 standard

• According to C99: “If an object that has static or thread storage duration is not initialized explicitly, and if it has arithmetic type, it is initialized to (positive or unsigned) zero;”. For performance considerations, local memory, although having static storage durations, is left un-initialized in the beginning of a program.
