Summary: hyphen in function name?

This has happened to me too, and it's usually because I put a hyphen
in the function's name, so cc thinks I want to subtract one part of
the name from the other part, or something equally absurd. Hyphens in
declarators are a no_no. :-)
cc is notorious for not telling you that an error has occurred until
several lines after the actual error.
