AFAIK these is the standard behavior since the first PASCAL versions.
We must not change it. It prevents a lot of side effects, and PASCAL is NOT C
without brackets!
Use while or repeat instead!
>From Niklaus Wirths last 2004 Oberon manual:
https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProgInOberon2004.pdf
t "It is recommended that the for statement be used in simple cases only; in
particular, no
components of the expressions determining the range must be affected by the
repeated
statements, and, above all, the control variable itself must not be changed by
the repeated
statements. The value of the control variable must be considered as undefined
after the for
statement is terminated."
Kind Regards
