4.?bsd C compiler mishandles uses of functions of type void (with fix)

[Arthur David Olson]

Index:		lib/mip/trees.c Fix

Description:
	The C compiler can't compile some statements that take the address of
	a function of type void.

Repeat-By:
	echo "extern void subr(); void (* ptr)() = subr;" > try.c
	cc -c try.c

	An error message is produced and "try.o" is not created.

Fix:
	Most of the fix is to ensure that when the "-p" option is used with
	"lint" it will produce appropriate warnings.
	The file is named "/usr/src/cmd/mip/trees.c" in 4.1bsd.
	The trade secret status of the code precludes a clearer posting.
