Does the C11 standard (note I don’t mean C++11) allow you to declare variables at any place in a function?
The code below is not valid in ANSI C (C89, C90):
int main()
{
printf("Hello world!");
int a = 5; /* Error: all variables should be declared at the beginning of the function. */
return 0;
}
Is it valid source code in C11?
Yes. This was already valid in C99 (see the second bullet here).
