Independently from the location a local variable has been declared, the
compiler can decide in what section of the code it reserves stack place
for it. IMHO the reason is reusing the variable name, which in C can be
essential with complex macro declarations. You can reintroduce any
variable name in a {-} block without harming the variable with the same
name declared outside and used before and after the block .
