Perhaps I misunderstand. I declare variables, in C and Objective-C, in-line all the time. I believe this became standard in C99. A compound statement ({...}) is a sequence of block-items, any of which may be either statements or declarations.
The OP's trouble with switch statements, I believe, is that labels must be followed by statements, and in the standard's syntax terminology, declarations are not statements. ";" alone is a "null statement," which is legal. It can take the curse off a label that has a declaration, or nothing, after it.
