ISO C99 and ISO C++ allow declarations and code to be freely mixed
within compound statements. As an extension, GNU C also allows this in
C90 mode. For example, you could do:
<pre class="smallexample"> int i;
/* <span class="roman">...</span> */
i++;
int j = i + 2;
</pre>
<p>Each identifier is visible from where it is declared until the end of
the enclosing block.
