Description Sarah Day 2015-12-30 16:55:39 UTC
When the C parser tries to parse K&R style function declarations it fails giving an "Unexpected token 'identifier'" error. You can see an example of this by loading this file into KDevelop:

Hello!

We are working on a new clang-based C/C++ language plugin for KDevelop 5 which
supersedes the old C++ plugin in KDevelop 4. See e.g.:
https://www.kdevelop.org/news/first-beta-release-kdevelop-500-available

Due to a lack of manpower, we cannot fix bugs in the old C++ plugin. We rather
want to supply a good Clang based C++ experience for KDevelop 5 than wasting
our time on the legacy C++ support for KDevelop 4.

With the new clang-based C/C++ language plugin, the bug presented here does not
occur in my testing. For these reasons, I'll close this bug. Please stay tuned
for KDevelop 5.

If you think this bug is applicable to Clang/KDevelop 5, please reopen the
report and add new information on how to reproduce the bug there.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope you understand the reasoning above.

Cheers

That's fine! I just pulled the KDevelop beta from Fedora Rawhide and it works :) Thanks for your help!
