Deallocating struct in C outside function

Question

I am creating struct object in my code and I want to destroy this object. I know, for creating pointers I have to use malloc() to allocate and free() to deallocate pointer or array. But I have question about struct object. I was looking for answers here and I found solution to use brackets {} - placing struct object in brackets, so outside of right bracket struct object will be deallocated. But I am interested to deallocate object in global array. How can I deallocate such object? Example code

typedef struct {
  unsigned char m_some_property;
} my_struct;


static my_struct g_myStructArr[10];


int main(void)
{
  g_myStructArr[0].m_some_property = 20;
  // how to use brackets {} here to deallocate that object?
  return 0;
}

Is that possible?

You can't, global variables will be allocated for the lifetime of the program. Also I don't understand why you want to, you should not worry about that since using global variables is very rarely needed. Global variables are allocated when the program starts and deallocated when it ends.
