2.1
The following code does not compile ('[' or '.' expected). Is that a bug?

  public void a() {
	if (true)
		int xxxx= 0; 	
  }

When changed to
  public void a() {
	if (true) {
		int xxxx= 0;
        }
  }
no problems.

Variable declarations can only occur as block statements.
You thus need to wrap it inside a block.

We correctly detect this (as other compilers do).
