Bug or not? Enums won't cause "The scope of the variable 'n' can be reduced"

[Jens Schweikhardt]

hello, world\n

Using 2.5 (going at least back to 1.85), I observed this false-negative:

$ cat x.c
typedef enum { FOO, BAR, BAZ } myenum;
typedef int myint;

int main(void) {
    enum { A, B, C } en;
    myenum e;
    myint i;
    int n;

    for (;;) {
        en = A;
        call(en);
        e = BAZ;
        call(e);
        i = 42;
        call(i);
        n = 42;
        call(n);
    }
}

cppcheck --enable=all x.c
Checking x.c ...
x.c:7:11: style: The scope of the variable 'i' can be reduced. [variableScope]
myint i;
^
x.c:8:9: style: The scope of the variable 'n' can be reduced. [variableScope]
int n;
^

I would expect the same message for variables 'en' and 'e' as well.
Does anyone else consider this a bug?

Jens
