:When the prototype parameter name matches a local variable, the C compiler
:(and lint) whine about clashes between names in local/global namespace.
I've never in my life heard of this behavior before, what compiler
arguments reproduce it?
:2 ways to fix this are to "protect" the prototype argument names with the
:"_", or to remove the argument name altogether.
If it is a problem, why not simply use the same variable names that are
declared in the procedure proper? The underscore looks ugly and out of
place and doesn't make that much sense to me.
