State-Changed-Why:
    If you want warnings about features not in your selected
    C standard version, you should use -pedantic.  The manual
    clearly documents that this C99 feature is accepted as an
    extension in C89 mode.

>Description:
	When compiling a program like this, GCC doesn't warn about the C++
	style declarations in the C code without -Wall, and it does warn,
	but incorrectly, when -Wall is turned on.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Example code:
	int
	main (int argc, char **argv)
	{
		int bla;
		bla = 1;
		int bla2 = 2;

		return 1;
	}

	Output with -Wall:
	bla.c: In function `main':
	bla.c:6 warning: unused variable `bla2'
>Fix:
	None
