Will recursion work correctly in a language with static allocation of all variables? Explain.

Recursion can not be used for static variables since the memory for static variables are allocated only once . so if we use recursion, then it  may give incorrect result . Generally, we do not want such things when implementing recursion.

For detailed explanation, refer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10290527/why-do-static-variables-not-allow-recursion

Consider the following grammar for variable declarations: <vardecl> $\rightarrow$ <vardecl><idlist> : <type>; <vardecl> $\rightarrow \in$ <idlist> $\rightarrow$ ... wherever necessary. Make suitable assumptions regarding procedures operating on the symbol table; you need not elaborate upon these procedures.
