Tee hee: 
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/be9371659380388a693ec99624e1f3d02f07047f

I was caught by the same issues that I ended up fixing in that commit -- I 
tried making `StrictPrototypes` dependent and was very surprised when it 
doesn't work. The issue was 
`Invocation->getLangOpts()->resetNonModularOptions();` in `compileModuleImpl()` 
IIRC -- it would clear all of the language options (including ones like 
digraphs and wchar support).

@cor3ntin also shared this same concern -- my goal with this language option 
was:

* Make it easy to reenable functions without prototypes in C2x mode if we find 
some major breakage in the wild (hopefully we don't)
* Make it easy to add `-fstrict-prototypes` as a language flag to opt *into* 
strict prototypes (there would be no option to opt *out* of strict prototypes).
* Stop repeating `CPlusPlus || C2x` in a bunch of places and give it a named 
option.

So I'm not keen on adding `StrictPrototypes || CPlusPlus` everywhere -- C++ 
requires strict prototypes. However, the fears are still valid -- what if I 
found someplace nice to add an assert that `StrictPrototypes` cannot be false 
when `CPlusPlus` is true?

Heh, this comment came from feedback I got from someone on IRC when I was 
asking what OpenCL actually supports. As best I found, OpenCL allows `void 
f();` to mean `void f(void);` as in C++, but also allows `void f(a, b) int a, 
b; {}` (despite having no way to actually declare this function).

I'll take a pass at fixing up the comment to be more clear, thanks!

Same here as above.

I tried raising someone from the static analyzer team on IRC and failed, so 
this was my best guess.

Without this change, we get two assertions (when I enabled the asserts in 
`getFunctionNoProtoType()`): test/Analysis/blocks.m and 
test/Analysis/templates.cpp. So we definitely reach this spot. Given the FIXME 
comment above my changes, it looks like the analyzer folks knew they were doing 
something wrong here. With these changes, I get no test failures, so I'm not 
certain we're losing substantial coverage or not.

I think you might be correct about creating a function with a prototype. @NoQ 
-- do you agree with that fix?
