In C and C++ local variables to a function are allocated in the stack whosa porpouse is mainly to track the program state between function calls and interruptions. When such a quantity of memory is required, it is either defined globaly (outside every function, usualy prior to main) or allocated dinamically using "malloc" for C and C++ or the "new" operator in C++.
