------- Additional Comments From cyeoh at samba dot org 2005-02-16 07:05 ------- prototypes in header files can get out of sync with the function definitions (or parameters are simply get swapped around accidentally) - even with experienced programmers.
Users of that interface then get unexpect behaviour. I still think an optional warning would be useful - and it wouldn't be on by default. I think it would be fairly unusual that you would want the prototype parameter names to not match the definition. It wouldn't have to warn if the parameter names in the prototype were deliberately omitted. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19994
