The standard only says that a violation of any syntax rule or constraint
results in a diagnostic.  That diagnostic can be a non-fatal warning.
Many compilers provide options to provide more stringent checking, such
as gcc's "-std=c11 -pedantic-errors".

(There's also no requirement that the diagnostic must be clear; that's a
QoI issue.)
