6.11.5 Function definitions
[#1] The use of function definitions with separate parameter
identifier and declaration lists (not prototype-format
parameter type and identifier declarators) is an obsolescent
feature.
and "obsolescent feature" is defined as follows in the introduction:
[#2] Certain features are obsolescent, which means that they
may be considered for withdrawal in future revisions of this
International Standard. They are retained because of their
widespread use, but their use in new implementations (for
implementation features) or new programs (for language
[6.11] or library features [7.26]) is discouraged.
