Indeed, if non-prototype function declarations and definitions were
removed from the language in a future standard, it is almost certain
that most or all C compilers would continue to support them in some
non-conforming mode, perhaps even by default.

gcc and clang already have "--std=cNN", for NN = 89/90, 99, and 11,
which will certainly[*] continue to support old-style function
declarations and definitions.

[*] Of course I can't be 100% certain of that, but I'd be astonished if
it weren't the case.  I can imagine gcc and clang eventually dropping
support for old C standards, but I expect C11 support to continue for
decades.
