Why can't icc handle int declarations inside for loops?

[segmentation_fault]

I am getting this error below when using the latest and greatest icc. Surely it should be able to handle this situation? I did some googling and seems it has to do with C99 standard. I guess I am confused on why this isn't the default nowadays?

/pastix/build/kernels/core_crqrrt.c(234): error: expected an expression
              for(int i=0; i<2; i++)
                  ^
/pastix/build/kernels/core_crqrrt.c(234): error: identifier "i" is undefined
              for(int i=0; i<2; i++)

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

We would like to inform you that, icc can handle int declarations inside for loops. However, if your current std standard is configured to std version older than c99, you would face issues like below. (mentioned by you).

error: expected an expression / error: identifier "i" is undefined

We would like to suggest you to use icc compiler with -std version c99 or the other latest versions so that the code compiles successfully.
