Now I am trying to use the C99 style:
for( int i = 0, float f = 0.0; i < 5; i++, f+= 3.5 ) .....
But I am told: "parse error before 'float'".

Then I tried:
float f;
for( int i = 0, f = 0.0; i < 3; i++, f += 3.5 ) { printf("%g",f); };
But got: format '%g' expects type 'double', but argument 2 has type 'int'
and: unused variable 'f'

So: how to declare two variables of different type which are to be valid only in a for-loop?

You can't. The C99 spec only allows you to make a single variable declaration in a loop. If you need to declare multiple variables, do that outside the loop.

(The warnings in your second example are because you declared two variables named "f" - one float in the outer context, and an integer in the for-loop context which shadows the float.)
