Hello, I like performance, and until last month i follow what I see
on the web to do better coding for performance, like:

But now i'm using the assembly (-S) code generated to see if
somethings is correct, and today i'm investigating this:
int i;
for(i = 0;....);
vs
for(int i = 0;...);
[...] It's probably important to continue to handle the declaration
outside the scope well, as that version is required for C source code
by Microsoft compilers, even VS2012.
I have had occasion to wish that people didn't rely on non-standard
maybe Microsoft is right in forbidding both incorrect and correct C++
usage in C code.
It's all vanilla C99, no C++ is needed for that.
Just activate that language standard in your C compiler ;-)

Nothing wrong with maintaining compatibility with a widely marketed
compiler, even if gcc does the job better.
Are you suggesting that people who use gcc should limit themselves and
the quality of the code they write because some other manufacturer
makes a half-hearted C compiler that they hope no one will ever use?
MS supports C++ (with their own additions), C# and VB (their own
proprietary languages) - they haven't supported C properly for
something like a decade.
If you want to use MS tools, that's fine - but use the tools they
actually recommend you use. And if you want to write C, use a real C
compiler.
There are many features of C99 that are good additions to making C a
better language, and you should use them when writing C code.
