<h2>
SYNOPSIS
</h2>
<p class="indent" style="white-space:nowrap;">
<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 < ii; i++) {
fputc(buffer[i], stdout);
}____;
}
</pre>
