You can't in C. The opening brace of the inner block and the subsequent
declaration of a new a hides the previous version. The same applies to
accessing the global a from within the function fun().
The only way round it is change the name of the inner versions of the
variable.
In C++ you have the :: operator which may help (Google for [scope resolution
C++])
