The set of all global variables is known as the global environment or global state In compiled languages, global variables are generally static variables, whose extent (lifetime) is the entire runtime of the program, though in. A second use case would be multiple threads accumulating information into a global variable To avoid a race condition, every access to this global variable would have to be protected by a mutex. Data segment in computing, a data segment (often denoted.data) is a portion of an object file or the corresponding address space of a program that contains initialized static variables, that is, global variables and static local variables. A static variable is also known as global variable, it is bound to a memory cell before execution begins and remains to the same memory cell until termination
A typical example is the static variables in c and c++. Programmers may further choose to explicitly use the stack to store local data of variable length If a region of memory lies on the thread's stack, that memory is said to have been allocated on the stack, i.e A variable can eventually be associated with or identified by a memory address The variable name is the usual way to reference the stored value, in addition to referring to the variable itself, depending on the context This separation of name and content allows the name to be used independently of the exact information it represents.
They are expressed in the language syntax in form of declarations for memory locations or variables Data types also determine the types of operations or methods of processing of data elements. In compiler optimization, register allocation is the process of assigning local automatic variables and expression results to a limited number of processor registers
