You probably mean something like:

#ifndef PROTO
#ifdef __STDC__
#define PROTO
#endif
#endif

since your #ifdef line is illegal, and the define that ANSI specifies
is __STDC__.

| #undef decl_args
| #ifdef PROTO
| #define decl_args(x) x
| #else
| #define decl_args(x) ()
| #endif
| 
| Are there any standards for what to call this 'decl_args' macro?

I tend to call it PROTO myself.

Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
