main returns an int and using (void) to signify an empty parameter list
is (generally) considered bad style in C++.

int main()

't' gets destroyed and recreated at each loop. It should have a value of
0 at each turn. And what's the bracket doing here?

loop

Never gonna happen.

It should not, well it works only for t==0 since it gets recreated every
time.
If it works for real, there is a serious bug in your compiler.

Actually I think that was dummy code, if only for the typos. Post some
real code and make sure to format it for 72 characters wide since it is
pretty much the standard over usenet.
