Actually, it is even easier than that! Using your example:

	void funcname(
	  int /* x */,		// This may look strange, but it works
	  int /* y */,		// and it is intended to be this way!
	  int z      )
	{
	  printf( "%d", z );
	}

You can also completely omit the parameter names, but my experience has been
that leaving them in helps other people who have to read the code.
