[Bug c/19635] New: static nested function workaround for -Wmissing-declarations (see bug #1517) no longer works

[bartoldeman at users dot sourceforge dot net]

Using gcc version 4.0.0 20050115 (experimental) (Debian 4.0-0pre4)
I see that:

int
main (void)
{

  int a;
  
  static int nested (int b)
    {
      return b + 2;
    }

  return (a + nested (a));  
}

gives:
nested.c: In function 'main':
nested.c:8: error: invalid storage class for function 'nested'

without the "static" I get:

gcc -Wmissing-declarations nested.c
nested.c: In function `main':
nested.c:8: warning: no previous declaration for 'nested'

Has static been deprecated for nested functions? If yes, is there
another way to avoid the warning?
