The function initialise_monitor_handles() in syscalls.c is not declared correctly

[JVERN.18]

The correct declaration should be:
void initialise_monitor_handles( void )

This is not very important... but it generates warnings

What warnings, exactly?

And what build tools & version are you using?

[JVERN.18]

Sorry for the scrrenshots, I'll be more careful next time...

The compiler is LLVM/Clang and the warning is "a function declaration without a prototype is deprecated in all versions of C [-Wstrict-prototypes]"

This is not a very important warning, and I see that GNU does not see a problem, but frankly, we're not in the 1980s anymore...

So just changing the declaration to add the 'void' wouldn't fix that warning - you'd still need to add a prototype?

Yes, just adding "void" is enough to make the compiler happy (and me too)... and no, I absolutely do not need this function (void, by the way).
