Of course, and has for years. Why do you ask? (it's as simple as writing
a trivial program to check).

Not that "new" anymore -- it's been around for years. In the following
piece of code, the scope of "i" is the for loop, and i is not visible
outside.
for (int i = 0; i < some_value; ++i)
{
// ...
}
// i is now out of scope, sorry.
G++ provides an "backward compatibility" flag, -fno-for-scope, for code
written years ago and hasn't been fixed yet.
As for the answers to the rest of your post, please get some books on C
and/or C++ (and/or visit comp.lang.{c,c++} where this discussion would be
more relevant). There are FAQ's for those groups as well which are very
useful for beginners (and even though veterans don't like to admit it,
they peek at those every so often as well!).
