Hello jcl, the following code should be rejected with an error message but instead compiles and executes:
#include <acknex.h>
void main()
{
int i = 0;
int i = 0;
}
Best regards, Uhrwerk

Ok. I didn't find this case specified in the C Reference Manual. So I tried some other compilers and they all gave an error message similar to "error: redeclaration of 'i'". What's the purpose of redeclaring local variables?

oh, redeclaring is allowerd and mostly results in this spaghetie source:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
dosomethingwithint(i);
}
}
I hate nested loops with redeclared vars ARGH -.-

That's a different example. In your code snippet two variables with identical name are declared as well, but they have got a different scope.

@Uhrwerk: yes they have different scopse, nontheless: Redeclaring the same identifier over and over again just starts to confuse other people when reading the source

I absolutely agree. Nevertheless this is not related to the original topic.
