   <code>AX_C_DECLARE_BLOCK</code>
  </p>
  <h2>
   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    The macro will compile a test program to see whether the compiler does
    allow new variable declarations in the middle of a C statement block, i.e.
    after some non-declaration line. New compilers will allow that which makes
    the behave a bit more like C++ - the gcc did support it for quite a time
    already.
   </p>
   <p>
    #define DECLARE_BLOCK_NEEDED says they need to be at the beginning of of a
    statement block. Additionlly two defines DECLARE_BLOCK { and DECLARE_END }
    are being set. That makes it possible to do the following in your source
    code (which this macro is really made up for):
   </p>
   <pre>
 #define ___ DECLARE_BLOCK
 #define ____ DECLARE_END

 int f() {
  char buffer[1024];
  fgets(buffer, 1024, stdin);
  ___ int i; int ii = strlen(buffer);
  for (i=0; i &lt; ii; i++) {
     fputc(buffer[i], stdout);
  }____;
 }
</pre>
