I guess implementing a -Wno-braces is not worth the effort?
Just on KNF for a moment, should the comment:
/*
* If a function type is declared, it should be on a line
* by itself preceeding the function.
*/
be changed to:
/*
* Function type must be declared, on a line
* by itself preceeding the function.
*/
?
