I've a little question:

i'f i declare:

int    a[10];
int    b[10];

int    main()
{
int    c[10];
int    d[10];

    /*    ecc.ecc.    */
    return 0;
}

where a, b, c, d goes?
c and d should go on stack, that in Intel-based machines means c > d (c is
allocated at an upper address than d), but a and b?? Does djgpp use a data
segment for global variables (thus b > a) or system stack (thus a > b)?
And, is it safe to assume that a and b are allocated consecutively in
memory?

Thanks

Marco
