Well, when I try compiling it, I get a "parse error before char", and
lots of other errors besides.  That isn't valid C code.

I tried compiling it as C++ and got no errors, with a suitable statement
filling in the body of the for loop.

Is that example pasted in verbatim from your code?  If not, could you
please do so?
