memory location c8051f381

and the answer is: probably

it MAY be that the compiler bunches initialized variables separate from non-initialized.

anyhow, why do you care?

You're right I did not frame the question correctly
I would like to understand how memory works

I would like to understand how memory works
reading your question as is the answer is "you put data there to read it later"
I'm sure that is not your problem, but for "how memory works" I have no other answer
