In the middle of a function I had something like this:


MyFunction()
{
   ...

   {
      char myString[20];

      // myString is used only in here

   }

   ...
}

My intention was to have myString allocated at the beginning of the code
block and deallocated at the end. Clearly myString was not getting
allocated at all because I was getting protection faults in the code
that used it. When I moved the myString declaration to the beginning of
the function, it worked fine. Should myString have been allocated in the
above example, or do I have my C++ syntax wrong?
