Well, trying to kill the warning in a style-compatible way is often
problematical, and can lead to such things.
GCC 2.95.n has whined at me about
int
main()
{
:
}
But is placated by
int
main(void)
{
:
}
"But this breaks K&R" (grrr), or the fact that it is incompatible with
the existing style of the code may get me to put a
int main __P((void));
before it.
