Storage Classes

Associating identifiers with objects requires each identifier to have at least two
attributes: storage class and type (sometimes referred to as data type). The mikroC
compiler deduces these attributes from implicit or explicit declarations in the
source code.
Storage class dictates the location (data segment, register, heap, or stack) of the
object and its duration or lifetime (the entire running time of the program, or dur-
ing execution of some blocks of code). Storage class can be established by the
syntax of the declaration, by its placement in the source code, or by both of these
factors:

The storage class specifiers in mikroC are:

register
static
extern

the default for local variables and is rarely used. You cannot use
als. See also Functions.
Register
By default, mikroC stores variables within internal microcontroller memory. Thus,
modifier
ignores requests for register allocation.
