Independently from the location a local variable has been declared, the 
compiler can decide in what section of the code it reserves stack place 
for it. IMHO the reason is reusing the variable name, which in C can be 
essential with complex macro declarations. You can reintroduce any 
variable name in a {-} block without harming the variable with the same 
name declared outside and used before and after the block .
