I'm not sure that's true :-

address@hidden:~$ nl -ba voidargs.c
     1  #include <stdio.h>
     2
     3  void voidargs1()
     4  {
     5    printf ("foo!");
     6  }
     7
     8  void voidargs2(void)
     9  {
    10    printf ("bar!");
    11  }
    12
    13  int main (int argc, char *argv[])
    14  {
    15    voidargs1();
    16    voidargs1('a');
    17    voidargs2();
    18    voidargs2('a');
    19    return 0;
    20  }
address@hidden:~$ gcc -Wall -W -g voidargs.c -o voidargs
