What exactly do you mean by "variable"?
I tend to think of it as an informal word referring to a (probably
non-const) object that has a name, but I don't think that's how you're
using it.
I'm not saying your usage is wrong, but since the C standard doesn't
define "variable" I really can't tell what you mean by it.
