They did get together to sort the mess out. They did so in the 1980s. Where do you think the idea of "ANSI function prototypes" came from?

- iainmerrick 9y agoIt's hardly a complete solution, though, since they kept the zero-arg functions around as a special case! ANSI C is the version I first learned. I didn't know that weird exception for zero-args functions still existed, or had forgotten it. I could be wrong, but I bet most C programmers don't know about it.
