There is no US law prohibiting a declaration of the form
    int foo (...);
so it must be legal here.  If you want to know about Australian law,
you'll have to ask an Australian lawyer.

However, perhaps what you really want to know is whether it is valid C.
It is not valid according to ANSI C.  However, GCC will let you write it.
