The comma suggests (I think) that it is C90 that mandates that all one's variables are declared at the top of the function. But that's not the case (as I am sure you know). The other reading -- that this is done in idiomatic C90 code -- is also something that I'd question, but not something that I'd want to argue. I comment just because there seems to be a myth that "old C" had to have all the declarations at the top of a function. That was true once, but so long ago as to be irrelevant. Even K&R C allowed declarations at the top of a compound statement. -- Ben.
