Just a note - this is *not* ANSI style.  The ANSI way would be (to
more-or-less preserve the visual layout)

int
foo(
	int bar,
	int dfg,
	int ffg,
	int nsize,
	int nitems,
	int alignment	)

gcc has an unforunate misfeature that silently rewrites the former to
the latter if a suitable prototype declaration is in scope, thus
encouraging the writing of such code, but it's gcc, not C.
