configure: add -Wmissing-declarations, -Wmissing-prototypes, and more
Here's the rationale for each:
- -Wmissing-declarations: Make sure the definition of a function can
"see" a corresponding (usually in a header file), if it isn't static.
This makes sure that the declaration and definition don't go out of
sync, which can lead to hard to debug problems (because it still
builds, but the function doesn't receives what it thinks it receives).
On top of pointing out out-of-sync declarations, it can help point out
that a foo.c file misses including its header foo.c, or that a
function should actually be made static.
- -Wmissing-prototypes: makes sure that functions without parameters are
declared as `foo(void)` instead of `foo()`. In C, the former declares
a function that takes no parameters, whereas the latter declares a
function without specifying its parameters. The latter could be
called with any number of parameters, which is a recipe for confusion.
- -Wmissing-parameter-type, -Wold-style-definition,
-Wold-style-declarations, -Wstrict-prototypes: makes sure there's no
function declared with parameters without types specified, or using
the old style:
int foo(bar)
int bar;
{
...
}
Unlikely, but there's no harm in enabling them.
