This is from C99 but this hasn't changed since C89:

"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."
