You can always open a new scope if you want to declare local variables. And perhaps you should split your code into smaller functions. I am strongly against this and think we should definitely continue to compile with '-Wdeclaration-after-statement' even if we decide that C99 code should in general be allowed. > * new block scopes for selection and iteration statements > > So one can have for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) i.e. not having to > declare 'i' beforehand Yes, that is a nice feature.
