    If I declare a static variable inside a local strucutre

    In current C the keyword static is meaningless inside a structure. You should get an error from the compiler.

    If by “static” you mean “not allocated using malloc”: the member of a structure is always stored in the same place as the rest of the structure. If said member is a pointer, it can point to memory in the same region or not.
