Have you tried it? After adding in a return 0; MSVC 6.0 says there are
no problems at its highest warning level.

Well it should. That's a rather old and non-compliant compiler.

Sun cc (normal warnings) gives:

"/tmp/x.c", line 28: warning: argument #2 is incompatible with prototype:
prototype: pointer to int : "unknown", line 0
argument : pointer to float

gcc (normal warnings) gives:

/tmp/x.c: In function `main':
/tmp/x.c:28: warning: passing arg 2 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type
