That's because of 6.5.2.5#6 which defines the storage duration of compound
literals to depend on whether they are inside a function:
[#6] The value of the compound literal is that of an unnamed
object initialized by the initializer list. If the compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the object
has static storage duration; otherwise, it has automatic
storage duration associated with the enclosing block.
