 - Variables declared with the **`auto`** or **`register`** storage-class specifier are initialized each time execution control passes to the block in which they're declared. If you omit an initializer from the declaration of an **`auto`** or **`register`** variable, the initial value of the variable is undefined. For automatic and register values, the initializer isn't restricted to being a constant; it can be any expression involving previously defined values, even function calls.

(For more information, see [Constant Expressions](../c-language/c-constant-expressions.md).) Since the address of any externally declared or static variable is constant, it can be used to initialize an internally declared **`static`** pointer variable. However, the address of an **`auto`** variable can't be used as a static initializer because it may be different for each execution of the block. You can use either constant or variable values to initialize **`auto`** and **`register`** variables.
