For Loops in C in Visual Studio 2008

[Baker]

I prefer to be able to declare a loop variable in a for loop. Can this somehow be "enabled" in C for Visual Studio 2008?

Code: Select all

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

Instead of having to declare i BEFORE the for loop.

Code: Select all

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

Plus I don't like having loop variables needlessly available outside the actual loop.

Any way to make Visual Studio do this for C in say Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Express 2008?

(CodeBlocks + GCC lets me do with a C99 compiler flag; Clang/LLVM likewise allows this behavior in for loops.)

MSVC doesn't support this C99 feature.
