Greetings

I've posted a review https://reviews.freebsd.org/D35945 which strengths
statements about K&R definitions and declarations: don't use them. Most of
the K&R code has been removed from the tree (ufs being the last straggler).
Future versions of the C standard will remove the K&R definitions and
declaration syntax. clang 15 will whine about this construct.

The time is ripe to move to language that suggests an outright prohibition.

Comments about language? Make them in phabricator.
Comments about the idea? Reply here

Warner
