Yes.  Declarations needs type information only.  Definitions need
variable names only (types default to ever-popular int -- if you are on
an IP platform [sizeof(int) == sizeof(void*)], this means you can pass
pointers in as well :-).

This is bad practise, but quite legal.  GCC just compiled this for me:

foo(a,b) { return a+ b; }
int main () { return foo(1, 2); }

$ gcc -o x x.c
$ ./x
$ echo $?
