wtf? Placing a void in both declaration *and* definition is "good style".

static int foo(void) { ... }
int bar() { ... }

You're setting yourself up for inconsistency if you don't always use a
prototypical definition. In the above example, foo() must be
declared/defined using a prototype (or you get warnings from gcc when you
compile with -Wmissing-prototypes (which is recommended for developers)).
But you're saying bar() should *not* have a prototype.


-1 on dropping the "void" from the definition. I disagree it is bad form,
and it sets us up for inconsistencies.
