That's not a parameter of type 'void'. That 'void' keyword is just a marker indicating that the function takes no parameters. This is syntactic cruft introduced in ANSI C to work around the ambiguity of pre-ANSI prototype-less function declaration syntax.

And that's what I meant by "single void parm".

I would guess there used to be a glitch in GCC where it expanded typedefs before looking for the 'void' marker, so it allowed the syntax in question; and now in 4.2 it doesn't do that anymore, and detects that the declaration is bogus.

Maybe. I'm just hoping for an answer from someone who knows the actual answer.
