There are a lot of differences between C and C++, this is just one of the
differences. Another would be where the variable is done inside a for/if
expression in that:
int g(void);
int f(void)
{
if (int t = g())
{
int t = g()+1;
}
}
is valid C but invalid C++ (though GCC gets it wrong for C++ but that is an
already filed bug report).
PR 27252 (aka PR 9278) is another example where C and C++ diff and in fact was
just fixed for 4.2.0 for a bug report. These are just some examples of where C
and C++ differ.
