Legal GNU C, yes, but not legal ISO/ANSI C. This is a documented GNU C extension; in the gcc info pages follow the "C Extensions" and then "Function Prototypes" items. Of course, OpenBSD has never supported compilation with anything but *its own* gcc. This is just another example of an extension (albeit one in plain gcc) that a compiler must support to correctly handle the OpenBSD source tree. Philip Guenther
