// IIRC C won't increase the size of your program from this
// (it uses some startup trickery) but C++ will !!!
char ThisIsGloballyAllocated[1000]

int main(void)
{
 char ThisIsOnTheStack[1000];
 static char ThisIsAlsoGloballyAllocated[1000]

 

}

Hope I got this right, but just in case I'm wrong
read a good book on C/C++ anyway...
