As silly as it seems, I think this is part of the ANSI C standard (to
allow for older programming styles). Otherwise, there would never have
been any need for 'int func(void)'.

I think C++ changes this and makes 'int func()' mean the same thing
as 'int func(void)'. If you want to pass multiple parameters (eg
printf), you can use 'int func(...)' instead.

I personally try and avoid the use 'int func()' unless I am compiling
a C++ program, where it means no parameters (ie its use is obvious).
