Alex,

Just a comment, no reply is expected, though it seems that we
have quite the discussion going about things like this now.
I haven't had a chance to read them all, but what happened :-)

Anyway, in the following function declaration:

void X0() {
  return;
}

The parameter list is assumed or not given.  This is to be
K&R compatible, correct?  This actually allows any number of
parameters to be passed to it, though the output is undefined
if the function is passed an unknown count of parameters.

i.e.: isn't

void X0() {

the same as

void X0(...) {

Anyway, to my comment.  If you plan on supporting that form,
do you plan on supporting the assumed 'int' type as in:

X2() {
  return;
}

or

X3(void) {
  return;
}

i.e., currently, SmallerC doesn't like the X2 (or X3) since
it is expecting a declaration.

I believe that the

void X0() {
  and
X0() {

are both pre-C89/90 (K&R) syntax, but C99, etc. allow it.

SmallerC allows the first, void X0(), but not the second, XO().

Again, no reply expected, just thought you might be interested.
Also, others may have input too, since there is a discussion
on 'versions' of the specification within other threads.

Ben
