CCS option to require prototypes?

[allenhuffman]

Is there a CCS option to require prototypes? From another topic, someone said if there wasn't a match, it would look for an overload (no prototype, so I guess that would be int/int like normal C?).

A test function that wants a structure will silently allow pretty much anything but floats and string constants without warnings. GCC has flags to prevent that.

It is never required in C to have prototypes.
It is required to have a function declaration 'in scope' before a function
is used. Though even this some compilers don't enforce.

In particular look at the first answer, and then the first comment to this.

Thank you, though I am not asking if the C standard requires prototypes I am asking for an option to do this in the CCS compiler, like other compilers have. You can enable all kinds of strictness in many tool suites to catch things that would otherwise pass by as "legal" (but wrong) code.

Let me add some GCC / GNU-C keywords for future searchers:

If you want to ask for a feature, then ask CCS.

'Requiring' prototypes, was never a feature of C.
C++ has this.
However some C compilers introduced a similar capability.
If you want such an ability, you need to talk to CCS, and ask them if they
would consider introducing such an ability.
