I just used that as a template for my own test snippet.

Questions, no doubt off-topic for Qt:

 1) Why does the C++ compiler / standard allow function declarations
inside a function?
     (as opposed to the C-style declarations outside functions that I
have encountered before)

      Surely this is not related to function pointers. Or is it?

      Also does a function declaration inside a function go out of
scope after the function
      hits the ret asm instruction? Does it ever go in scope if the
function is *never* called?

      Note that definitions are not allowed (in GCC) and that seems to
make sense.

 2) Does anyone ever use this feature of C++?

I think I'll have to ask in #c++
