I am exploring the creation of static variables in the .data section of the Virtual Address Space in the context of a C sourc

Just to add that on bare-metal hardware (ie. microcontrollers) (where you don't have the benefits of binary loaders), you will see the code that zeroes the .bbs and copies .data section from RO FLASH into RAM.

That code will be something similar to http://repo.or.cz/w/cbaos.git/blob/HEAD:/kernel/init.c#l23 .
