--- Comment #4 from jonathan.sauer at gmx.de ---
gcc 4.2.1 doesn't complain when specifying C99 as the standard (-std=c99). In
C89 (-std=c89) it (correctly) complains about "redeclaration of ‘i’ with no
linkage", because in C89 the definitions in the first clause of a for statement
are in the surrounding scope instead of the loop body's scope.

clang also complains when using C89:

% ~/LLVM/build/Release+Asserts/bin/clang -std=c89 clang.c
clang.c:5:14: error: redefinition of 'i'
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { }
             ^
clang.c:3:9: note: previous definition is here
    int i;
        ^
1 error generated.


I guess gcc and clang use different C standards as default, which is why you
got the differing results.
