Re: Objective-C++?

[David Relson]

For the most part I dislike C++, but it has one feature I'd really like to 
have in Objective-C - the ability to declare variables _anywhere_ it makes 
sense (not just at the start of a block).  One particularly good place is 
loop variables, as in:

for (int i= 0; ...) {}

I also like defining variables when the time is right, for example:

...
count = function( ....);
int *array = malloc(count);
...
