[Swarm-Support] When did gcc get so lenient about the location of variable declarations?

[Paul Johnson]

Recently I mistakenly inserted a for loop between some variable 
declarations, but the program still compiled and ran.  In the old days, 
I used to get a compiler warning/error saying I had used unrecognized 
keywords for the variables that came after the for loop.

In an example like this, see what I mean? It didn't work way back when.

- (void)calculateCutpoints
{
  int i = 0;
  double previousPolicy = -99.0;

  id copyOfCollection = [candidateList copy: [self getZone]];
  [QSort sortObjectsIn: copyOfCollection using: M(compareIdeology:)];

  for (i=0; i< [partyList getCount]; i++)
    {
      cutpoint[i] = 0;
      cutpointParty[i] = 0;
   }

  i=0;
  id index = [copyOfCollection begin: [self getZone]];
  id anObject;
