The latest gcc compiler is 14.2, or something like that.
I have used prior versions 11.2 and 12.2 which allow C code that does
not always type routines, such as int main()
 
Since the original compiler, it was understood that the default for a
routine is type int, so that a compiler would accept
 
main()
 
and, although it might give a nuisance warning the program would compile
and run.
 
The latest gcc seems to require every routine to be typed. As of the
current time, I have 1,046,000 lines of C code written over the last 45
years or so, and much of it was written according to K&R.
 
Does anyone know of a compiler add-on which will read existing code, and
insert type (int) when the routine is not explicitly given?
 
 
Thanks.

You can probably get the code to compile with the
proper "--std=" directive to gcc.
