The following code has an extra semi-colon at the end of the function prototype declaring bad_func1: void bad_func1 (unsigned long long arg1, const char *arg2 ; ); void bad_func2 () { const char *foo = "foo"; bad_func1 (0, foo); } GCC 3.4 reports an error: elm3b187% /home/janis/tools/gcc-3.4-anonsvn/bin/gcc -c bug.c bug.c:1: error: parameter "arg1" has just a forward declaration bug.c:1: error: parameter "arg2" has just a forward declaration GCC 4.0 and later (including current mainline) accept the code with no error or warning, even with -Wall, and generate code as if the prototype did not exist rather than generating code as if the semicolon did not exist.
