Bug ID: 68344
Summary: No warning for old-style function declarations.
Product: gcc
Version: 5.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: i.hamsa at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The following minimal test case
int a();
generates no warning when -Wold-style-declaration -std=c11 is specified.
It is expected that a warning should be produced.
The manual at https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html says:
-Wold-style-declaration
Warn for obsolescent usages, according to the C Standard, in a declaration
The C11 draft standard says:
6.11.6 Function declarators
The use of function declarators with empty parentheses (not prototype-
format parameter type declarators) is an obsolescent feature.
