Incorrect description of initialization

[DanielaE]

"Of course, it is uninitialized (unless it is declared at global namespace scope), ..."
This is independent of the global namespace but rather applies to all variable definitions at namespace scope, i.e. variables with static storage duration [basic.start.static]

int a;
namespace N1 {
    int b = 1;
    namespace N2 {
        int c = 2;
    }
}

compiles to

a:          .zero   4
N1::b:      .long   1
N1::N2::c:  .long   2
