Only if they're all of the same type:

for (int i=0, j=0; ...

Or you can do something of this sort:

for( pair<int, unsigned> p(1, 2u);
     p.first < 10 && p.second < 20u;
     ++p.first, ++p.second )

Does the language allow the definition of multiple variables in a for
loop?

F.I.: the compiler I am using (VC5.3) is accepting the following:

int j=0;
for (int i=0; i<10,j<10; i++, j++)
{
 //...
}

but does not accept the following:

for (int i=0, int j=0; i<10,j<10; i++, j++)
{
 //...
}

Is this in the standard or it is just a compiler bug?
