error: a function declaration without a prototype is deprecated in all versions of C

[thierry-FreeBSD]

This error is produced with recent clang (>= 15). Actually this is just a warning, but since -Werror,-Wstrict-prototype is set, it becomes an error:

Thanks to the LLVM devs for causing useless work in downstream projects! Apparently this warning only applies to C99 through C17, from C23 on having a function declaration without a prototype is legal again (see: https://reviews.llvm.org/D122895)
