Ok agreed!
But don't you think that C compiler (gcc) also output
this error?
if it did that, it would not be a C compiler. What part of 'gcc is a C compiler, where the above is not an error' was unclear?
My observation is gcc outputs error only if we try to initialise both instant of "a".
again, correct. doing that is an error in C
