:
: 6.11.5 Function definitions
:
: [#1] The use of function definitions with separate parameter
: identifier and declaration lists (not prototype-format
: parameter type and identifier declarators) is an obsolescent
: feature.
:
: and "obsolescent feature" is defined as follows in the introduction:
:
: [#2] Certain features are obsolescent, which means that they
: may be considered for withdrawal in future revisions of this
: International Standard. They are retained because of their
: widespread use, but their use in new implementations (for
: implementation features) or new programs (for language
: [6.11] or library features [7.26]) is discouraged.
Deprecated doesn't mean they are no longer part of the standard. Just
that next standard they could go away.
