RE: Using STATIC

Actually, I think the basic thing we don't agree on is the design of
computer programs.  I design computer programs with ease of maintainability
first, efficiently second.  Comes from writing programs that were very
efficient that no one could maintain except me.  So now I write for
maintainability first and efficiency second.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

P.S. And as to whether adding the static keyword to a variable moves it from
the stack to the CS or from the stack to my grandmother's basement is a mute
point and nothing to do with the discussion.  And I know how malloc,
remalloc, demalloc work.

Unfortunately, we don't agree on the basic operation of a computer program,
from how a static is defined to how functions such as malloc() work, so I
doubt we'll come to a reasonable agreement here.
