[gnu.g++.bug] Why is this an error?

knutson@marconi.sw.mcc.com (Jim Knutson) (06/17/89)

If variables can be declared anywhere, why is the int sum
declaration below an error?  This happens when using g++ 1.35.0.

#include <stream.h>

main()
{
	for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
		int sum += i;		// += is a parse error
		printf("i = %d, sum = %d\n",i,sum);
	}
}
