I sometimes want to write as:

do {
    int c = getchar();
} while(!(c == EOF || c == '\n'));

but condition expression of the 'while' is out of scope of 'c'.
So, I must write as:

int c;
do {
    c = getchar();
} while(!(c == EOF || c == '\n'));

Though, I think the former is better than the latter.

do scope should extend to while.

Yes.  I often wish for this.

How about

do with (int c)
{
    c = getchar();
} while(!(c == EOF || c == '\n'));


Walter, would that be unambiguously parseable?

I also vote ;) for this... i wish it was this way everytime i write a do-while
loop :)

"Sean L. Palmer" <palmer.sean verizon.net> writes:

while is somewhat ambiguous anyway.  Why not go ahead and add until?

{
    int c=getchar();
} until (c > 32);

Or it could also start with do

do { } until (false);

Just prevents a bit of logical negation, may make some source code a wee bit
clearer in intent.

loop, but that's a bit picky.
