K&R p. 198 says statics and externals are guaranteed to be
"uninitialized" to zero; automatic and register are guaranteed
to be "uninitialized" to garbage.
Since this is supposed to be the "standard"...

I do wish people would at least READ the book before quoting from it. K&R
p. 198 says
"Static and external variables which are not initialized are guaranteed to
start off as 0; automatic and register variables which are not initialized
are guaranteed to start off as garbage."
Yes, that is supposed to be the "standard"...
