Here is a simplified version of what's causing me trouble:

	if (bool b2 = b)
		{
		char* p = "hello";
		}
	else
		{
		char* p = "world";
		}

gives: Error 'p' is already defined

However, this is fine:

	if (b)
		{
		char* p = "hello";
		}
	else
		{
		char* p = "world";
		}

I haven't had a problem with this on VC++ or GCC. Obviously, 
the code could (should?) be rewritten, but I'm porting a 
large program and I'd rather not have to. I'm curious what 
the "correct" behaviour is.
