Yes because global variables are initialized by default to zero according to
C99, contrary to local variables. So this code:
> int foo_glob[5] = {1};
still produces a correctly initialized global array. Local variables, on the
other hand, need to be initialized explicitely and completely in the case of
CIL since initializers are discarded and replaced by assignments.
I believe the current situation is correct but if I'm wrong, or if someone
used to rely on explicit initialization of global arrays (which did not work
beyond 16 cells anyway), please say so.
