title: Where are arrays stored in memory?
body: <p>I know that the global variable is stored in memory, and the local variable is saved in the stack, and the stack will be destroyed after each use.</p>
  
  <p>But I do not know how an array is saved in memory.
  I tried to declare a global array:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  int tab[5]={10,9,12,34,30};
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and at the end I read the contents of the memory, I mean, that after the execution of the code, I read the contents of the memory, (e.g I'm working on a microcontroller, and I know where the data is saving) when I declare a global variable for example a = 10; and when I read the contents of the memory I find the value 10 in the memory, but I do not find the content of the table that is 10,9,12,34,30</p>
  
  <p>I want to understand where the array content is it save in memory?</p>
  
  <p>I work on Aurix Infineon, and I use Hightec as a compiler, I execute my code directly on the aurix, I read the memorition like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>const volatile unsigned char * mem_start = 0xd0000000;
  #define size ((ptrdiff_t) 0xfff)
  unsigned char bufferf [size];
  code ();
  main(){
      ... 
      for (int e = 0; e &lt; sizeof (bufferf); e ++) 
          bufferf [e] = * (mem_start + e); // read memory
  }
  </code></pre>
