which I did not see, because I expected the code to follow the usual
"no decl-after-statement" pattern.  IOW

Don't do that.  Always start your function like so:

	type funcname(args)
        {
        	declarations;

                first statement;
		...

with no blank line within declarations block and a blank line after
the declarations block.
