In K&R C, only static and global arrays can be auto-initialised. And you can 
also omit the array size in the declaration, which improves maintainabilty.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark here, but purely from the code snippet 
you have given, I suspect that "ending" is actually const and should 
probably be global/static anyway?!?
