Hmm...I think you meant to say C++ here. C doesn't give you that kind of flexibility; however, C++ does.
#include <stdio.h>
int main ( int iArgC, char * apsqArgV[] )
{
printf ( "Hello, world! This is cygwqin speaking.\n" );
{
char szMsg[] = "Not so!";
printf ( "Now inside scope, msg is %s.\n", szMsg );
}
return ( 0 ); // Success is zero in Windows.
}
This is the kind of scope that I was talking about. The char array szMsg is declared at the start of the scope; this code compiles and runs correctly under CygWin (Win98).
You may have been talking about the following:
void FooBar ( void )
{
int iBeer, iVodka;
float fCredit = 20.0;
.. /* Code here */
iBeer++;
fCredit -= 2.50;
.. /* More code */
char *apszVarious[]; /* ILLEGAL in C */
}
I will grant that this kind of variable declaration is valid in Perl but not valid in C.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
