This is similar to C++03, ISO/IEC 14882-2003 Section 8.5 Initializers "... if no initializer is specified for a nonstatic object, the object and its subobjects, if any, have an indeterminate initial value"

Looks like only static variables are zero-initialized: ISO/IEC 9899:TC2 draft, section 6.7.8, item 10: """ 10 If an object that has automatic storage duration is not initialized explicitly, its value is indeterminate. If an object that has static storage duration is not initialized explicitly, then: - if it has pointer type, it is initialized to a null pointer; - if it has arithmetic type, it is initialized to (positive or unsigned) zero; - if it is an aggregate, every member is initialized (recursively) according to these rules; - if it is a union, the first named member is initialized (recursively) according to these rules.
