`-Wstrict-prototypes` warn if a function is declared or defined without specifying the argument types. This warning disallow function prototypes with empty parameter list. In C, a function declared with an empty parameter list accepts an arbitrary number of arguments when being called. This is for historic reasons; originally, C functions didn't have prototypes, as C evolved from B, a typeless language. When prototypes were added, the original typeless declarations were left in the language for backwards compatibility. Instead we should provide `void` in argument list to state that function doesn't have arguments. Also this warning disallow declaring type of the parameters after the parentheses because Neovim header generator produce no declarations for old-stlyle prototypes: it expects to find `{` after prototype.
