c - Where is a char-pointing string stored LOGICALLY? -

in c, can use char * point @ string. like

char *s = "hello"; 

.

as seen, neither variable located dynamically on heap because there no dynamical functions malloc, nor defined point other variable.

so question is, where literal string variable [char *s] points stored logically?

is stored in stack normal local variables? or, stack?

actually, graduate of computer engineering department, haven't found , have been curious how [char * string] works logically. great honor ask right 1 now.

the variable char* s stored on stack, assuming it's declared in function body. if declared in class, stored wherever object class stored. if declared global, stored in global memory.

in fact, non-static , non-thread_local variable declare in these 3 positions behave same way, regardless of whether primitive (i.e. int), object (i.e. vector<int>), or pointer (i.e. const char*). if variable static, stored in global space. if variable thread_local, each thread gets own copy, , copy stored @ base of stack corresponding thread.

the actual string "hello", s points to, stored in constant global space somewhere, .data segment.
