Local Variables ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -* Variables should be declared at the start of a block of code rather than in the middle. - The exception to this is when the variable is ``const`` in which case the declaration must be at the point of first use/assignment. - Declaring variable inside a for loop is OK. * When declaring variables in functions, multiple variables per line are OK. However, if multiple declarations would cause the line to exceed a reasonable line length, begin a new set of declarations on the next line rather than using a line continuation. * Be careful to not obfuscate the code by initializing variables in the declarations, only the last variable on a line should be initialized. If multiple variables are to be initialized when defined, put one per line. -* Do not use function calls in initializers, except for ``const`` variables. .. code-block:: c -- 2.45.2
