A non-@code{static} function declaration follows a @code{static} one.
This construct is not accepted by some traditional C compilers.

+@item
+The ANSI type of an integer constant has a different width or
+signedness from its traditional type. This warning is only issued if
+the base of the constant is ten. I.e. hexadecimal or octal values, which
+typically represent bit patterns, are not warned about.
