Has anyone had trouble declaring a void function? The lexical analyser tells
me that it was expecting a "(" as the first character after the close bracket
of the parameter list.  i.e.

void foo ()
{
^ "(" expected

or

void foo ( int myparms) ;
                        ^ "(" expected   (yes I know the code is wrong)

This is is perturbing because the manual states that a void function is more
efficient since returning a parameter adds more overhead code. 

Declaring the same functions as int solves the problem, but I am concerned
with efficiency and legibility (why type a function that doesn't return
anything? Wouldn't optimizers kill a function like this?)
