[LLVMdev] MS C++ gives error C2371 on this code while (obviously)gcc compiles it fine

[Jay Freeman (saurik)]

gcc is correct. According to the ISO specification, the for-init-statement 
is supposed to inject any variable names into the same declarative scope as 
the condition of an equivalent restructuring of the loop in the form of a 
while statement, which in turn fronts the declaration to an extra scope that 
surrounds the /entire/ loop construct. VC++ seems to be scoping the 
variables as if they were /inside/ of the loop and not creating this extra 
scope. Frowny. -J
