Oops. I had kind of hoped for another answer.
If the current source code was functionally equivalent to using
prototypes everywhere I wouldn't have minded. But if I'm not
mistaken you actually loose a lot of type-checking now.
I just ran PC-LINT on the Ruby source and got many messages like:
... call to function 'SOME_FUNCTION_NAME()' not made \
in the presence of a prototype
All in all for 511 different functions.
I thought that the K&R style of function declaration/definition was
long ago obsolete. Looking in by bookshelf I see books such as
"Writing Solid Code", "The Practice of Programming" and "The Art of
Unix Programming" all mentioning the advantages of the ANSI style.
But I realize that it is your source ;).
I just had to make my argument.
This has been one of the main things I have wondered about while
reading the source (the other thing being the almost total lack of
comments about what functions do).
