While the error message can certainly be improved, the origin is the following (I guess): 
gcc looks at y and realizes that this is not a type. It then thinks that it might be 
a variable, in which case the sequence 
  type name (name) 
  (read: void x (y) ) 
would be the declaration of a variable with a given initializer (think: constructor call). But 
variables of type void are not allowed, which is what the message says).
