[Bug c/33219] Error in compiling when there is a function with a char parameter called before its declaration with inline parameters.

["manu at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

------- Comment #9 from manu at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-08-29 16:30 -------
Since "a" is called before being defined/declared is assumed:

extern int a();

See also: http://c-faq.com/decl/implfdecl.html

The error message could be a bit clearer by pointing out this explicitly:

a.c:7: error: conflicting types for 'a'
a.c:7: note: an argument type that has a default promotion can't match an empty
parameter name list declaration
a.c:3: error: previous implicit declaration 'extern int a()' of 'a' was here

But I doubt anyone would be interested to work on a patch for that. Would you?
