Hello, I recently was invited to look at a new code review tool by Joel. It's used to help with reducing technical debt. It suggests various fixes and highlights various possible errors. One of them relates to the fact that some of the variable scopes and be reduced. For example, we can define variables when they are needed not at the beginning of functions. I don't know if it matters much. Maybe it helps with memory due to the timing of things allocated on the stack. This also helps with the compiler not needing to analyze long lifespans. This also prevents the variable to be flagged as uninitialized.
But personally, I feel it's easier to read if we don't change where variables are defined. An example of this is found in testsuites/mptests/mp09/task1.c. An array called recieve_Buffer could be defined later. I'm not sure if this matters much. I want to know your input.
