Eleven bytes, and not necessarily on the stack.

No, it initializes them with "some stuff", the string constant already
includes the terminating null char. "some stuff\0" would be 12 bytes
long and have two null chars at the end.

No, char[11],
[0] 's'
[1] 'o'
[2] 'm'
[3] 'e'
[4] ' '
[5] 's'
[6] 't'
[7] 'u'
[8] 'f'
[9] 'f'
[10] '\0'
