However, it would be nice if the compiler warned > about the case that didn't follow the standard. I don't see how the compiler could know when someone intended to use the old rules? So how could it know which 'case' this example is? Until someone implements the DWIM directive ;-0. So though I did not even know about the 'old rules' I would agree with Scott (me22) that as long as someone might have learned the old rules, and come back from not programming c++ for a while, a warning for this is not a bad idea. I also would have been told by my teachers that this is poor and errorprone style, opinions may differ, I don't even like declaring loop variables inside the for() .. Because I use c mostly ..
