This statement is blatantly false (about anything about C).  It confuses
implementation with definition.  To re-use the same variable cell each time
through the loop is a valid implementation of deallocating it and reallocating
it each time through the loop, because deallocating and allocating are inverse
operations.  This doesn't mean that the meaning of declaring a variable inside
a loop in C is that it is allocated upon function entry.
