VB -> C#: variable is initialized inside loop

VB.Net input code

Private Shared Sub DefaultInitialization()
    For i = 1 To 2
        Dim b As Boolean
        If i = 1 Then
            Assert.That(Not b)
        Else
            Assert.That(b)
        End If

       b = True
       Assert.That(b)
   Next
 End Sub

Erroneous output

private static void DefaultInitialization()
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= 2; i++)
    {
        var b = default(bool);
        if (i == 1)
        {
            Assert.That(!b);
        }
        else
        {
            Assert.That(b);
        }

        b = true;
        Assert.That(b);
    }
}

Expected output

private static void DefaultInitialization()
{
    var b = default(bool);  // define and initialize outside loop or do not initialize (with compile error CS0165)
    for (int i = 1; i <= 2; i++)
    {
        // bool b;
        if (i == 1)
        {
            Assert.That(!b);
        }
        else
        {
            Assert.That(b);
        }

        b = true;
        Assert.That(b);
    }
}

Sounds like another job for PerScopeState / IHoistedNode

VB still manages to surprise me after all these years. If I ever knew about that “feature” of VB (pulling the variable into the outer scope), I’ve erased it from my mind. I guess it’s because VB only allows one loop variable but you might want multiple, and there’s no other way to limit the scope to within the loop since blocks don’t exist. Whatever the reason, yep it definitely needs fixing in the converter!
