Most of them have been 'fixed' but I'm sure there are K&R style 
definitions lurking someplace. 

#include "stdio.h"

int add_stuff(a, b, c)
    int a;
    int b;
    int c;
{
    return a + b +c;
}

int main(void) 
{
    printf("the sum is %d\n", add_stuff(1, 4, 6));
    return 0;
}


still works with gcc 11.4 although with std=c2x it warns

junk.c: In function ‘add_stuff’:
junk.c:3:5: warning: old-style function definition [-Wold-style-
definition]
    3 | int add_stuff(a, b, c)
      |     ^~~~~~~~~


I don't know if gcc will ever default to whining about them. That's 
staying power -- 46 years and cointing.
