I'm confused what -traditional is supposed to do...

I was under the impression it rejects function
prototypes and acts like a K&R C compiler...

2.3.3 and 2.4.3 don't seem to care...

I wrote a little sample program (tmp.c)

foo(int a, int b)
{
        return 5;
}

main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        
        printf("%d\n", foo());
}
leisner@annapurna$ cc tmp.c
"tmp.c", line 1: syntax error at or near type word "int"
"tmp.c", line 6: syntax error at or near type word "int"
leisner@annapurna$ gcc tmp.c
tmp.c: In function `main':
tmp.c:9: too few arguments to function `foo'
leisner@annapurna$ gcc -v -traditional tmp.c
