It's a bug. Intel C++ 8.0 is handling the for loop scoping in the old way,
where the variable declared in the for loop would still be in-scope after
the loop exits.
Microsoft Visual C++ used to do this as well, and still does it if you don't
tell it you want "Conforming" behaviour for for-loops. Perhaps Intel C++
8.0 has an option for this?

Anyway, you can always add extra braces:

int main ()
{
{for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++);}
{for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++);}
return 0;
}

That will make the warning go away.

Here are the relevant options, from the Intel manual:

/Zc:forScope - enforce standard behavior for initializers of loops
/Za - Enforces strict conformance to the ANSI standard
for C
/Qms0 - Instructs the compiler to disable Microsoft
compatibility bugs.

I don't have that compiler but I don't think that's the case here. If
that was the case, then I would expect the compiler to emit an error
saying that 'i' was being redefined.

The fact that it's a warning about hiding a varible in the surrounding
scope, maybe the compiler gets the code as

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++);

But the original poster did show a semicolon after the first for loop.
(?)

Also, if the cryptic code at the original poster's output tells us
that the compiler is from 2003, I would be very much surprised if
Intel didn't get that behavior right already at that time.

The code compiles on Intel 8.0 for windows with the command-line
option /Zc:forScope, but not without it.

Intel for Windows can be highly conformant if you use the right
options, but by default it has a lot of microsoft compatibility stuff.
Of course microsoft has gotten much better, too, but you still need to
explicitly disable 'microsoft extensions' if you want to approach ISO
conformance.
