I compile the following code fragment:
--
#include <stdio.h>

char *rpeet  ( short, char );
char rpeet_temp[81];

char *rpeet ( num, ch )
    short num;
    char ch;
{
  int  i;

  memset( rpeet_temp, ch, num );
  rpeet_temp[num] = '\0';
  return( rpeet_temp );
}
--
and get the following gripe from my compiler (gcc 1.30):

rpeet.c: In function rpeet:
rpeet.c:9: argument `num' doesn't match function prototype
rpeet.c:9: argument `ch' doesn't match function prototype

Am I doing something wrong here or is the compiler just grumpy today?
