Could you change it so that expressions, that are separated by
commas and inside an if-clause, would have visibility to the
variable defined in the first expression? Easier to show than to
explain:
int getInt()
{
return 11;
}
void main()
{
if (int n = getInt(), n > 10) // undefined identifier n
{
//...
}
if (int n = getInt(), ++n, n > 10) // undefined identifier n
{
//...
}
if (int n = getInt(), getInt() > 10) // OK
{
//...
}
}
That would make it possible to define variables in the smallest
possible scope, and not pollute the namespace of the enclosing
scope.
