Well, while we''re on the topic of scope... I think someone referred to this above, but I wasn''t sure. When I do something like this:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
for (int j = 0l j < 10; j++)
{}
}

And then I do something later on, such as:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{}

I believe that, sometimes, I get the "error C2374: ''i'' : redefinition; multiple initialization" message. Shouldn''t the first i disappear after the first ''for'' is finished? Is this the bug with ''for'' in MSVC that Oluseyi was referring to?

Bingo.

You can get it around it with this, though:
#define for if(0) {} else for

The standard says that the first i should, indeed, leave scope. However, MSVC++ follows the recomendation form an earlier version of the standard that says that for loop variable are visible within the scope surrounding the for... Kinda silly - but that''s how it works. I have been told that Dev-C++ follows the newer version of the standard.
