for and visual c++ 6.0

today i started programming under windows with visual c++ 6.0 Before, i''ve only used borland or g++ under linux, and i''ve found something strange. if i do : for(int i=0;i<10;i++) { ... } i can still access i after the } and i cannot declare int i after that for.. that''s annoying because if i have to make another for just after, i have to use for(i=0:i<10;i++) {...} That code can''t be compiled with g++ under linux, and if i use int i in the 2nd for, visual c++ won''t compile with the following error. error C2374: ''i'' : redefinition; multiple initialization any ideas why visual c++ act so strangely? i haven''t touched the compilations options, they are the ones by default when creating an empty project.

sorry i didn''t see that you had changed i to j.
i can change the name of the variable each time i have to make a for or to write i=0 juste before starting the for, but when you''re used to write the same thing : for(int i=...) without even thinking what i''m writing it''s hard to change

It''s a bug in VC++ 6.0. It''s fixed in .NET, with an option to undo the fix (for compatibility with 6.0 code).

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

i have heard there is an option somewhere to change this so it works the proper ANSI way (i don''t have any details though, since i don''t use that compiler/IDE).

#define for if ( true ) for

That's not it; that'll behave oddly if followed be by else.

#define for if(0); else for

I still don''t see why its that much of a problem, although I have been used to VC++ for a long time, so maybe its just me.

krez : The option is to "disable microsoft extensions" but it breaks the version of STL it ships with and other things so the cure is worse than the problem.

As a quick aside- I reccommend you don''t use VC6''s STL. It''s an ooold implementation.
