local static variables' default initialization

[auspicious]

Hi,

I would like to know what does the standard say about initialization
of local static variable's default initialization.

void f(int a)
{
static int b;
b+=a;
}

Shall 'b' be initialized to zero by default in this case or shall it
produce an error?

It will be zero.

Zero. See 3.7.1 and 6.7 paragraph 4.
