All C-compilers pre C99 and gcc-extensions would complain. I'm not all that enthusiatic about new methods of hiding errors in layers of precompilation.

Avoid problems with compilers that wants all variables defined before the code in a function. When Nilsson and wrote the new C-based hash-methods for the Crypto module, I accidently put a variable definition in the middle of the code. GCC didn't complain but some other platforms did.
Instead of learning C better, I developed code that solves the problem... ;)
