The compiler is looking for the
  for ( <expression>_optional ; <expr>_opt ; <expr>_opt ) <statement>
construction as specified by the ANSI C grammar once it sees the "for".

In C, "i = 1, i < 10, i = i + 1" counts as ONE expression.  The compiler
is looking the the first semi-colon after this expression when it sees
the ')'.
