Agreed.
Personally I think declarations should either be either right
at the top of a function or in a very small code block.
Otherwise they are annoying to find.
You also get very hard to spot bugs unless -Wshadow
is enabled (I can't remember if the linux kernel has
it enabled).
C++ (sort of) has to allow definitions in the middle
of code blocks because it doesn't allow uninitialised
variables - so definitions are best delayed until the
copy-constructor can be used.
