Clang is correct to reject this code, per C++ [stmt.select]p3, which says that
a variable declared in a condition (that's the "bool varName = (a_argc == 1))")
cannot be redeclared in the outermost block of the substatement. The example in
the standard is nearly identical to yours:

if (int x = f()) {
  int x; // ill-formed, redeclaration of x
}
else {
  int x; // ill-formed, redeclaration of x
}

So, GCC is wrong to accept this code.
