Re: How does the i handle programs in memory using different methods?

... local static variables will behave diffrent than automatic variables with recursion and problems with static variables will arise if a procedure is ever called in a multithreaded environment, they won’t be threadsafe!
I would never use static local variables! If a variable is statefull, it should be moved up to global, to be prepared for further modularisation of a procedure (procedures tend to grow and never to shrink!).
