Hi,

First bug report from me; hope I have the procedure right (not to mention
the address :-))

We're running GCC 1.28 on a Sun 3/280; I'm trying to port an application
which compiles and runs successfully with Zortech C and having problems
with a very simple piece of code:

void somefunc(char);

void somefunc(c)
char c;

{
}

which gives me:

In function somefunc:
test.c:6: argument `c' doesn't match function prototype

Alter the definition to:

void somefunc(char c)

{
}

and it compiles OK.

Obviously I can live with something that minor, but you aught to know, 
I guess.

Cheers,

Ian
