Daniel Bertalan b9c753f6f9 LibC+LibDl: Declare functions taking no arguments as taking void
In C++, a function declaration with an empty parameter list means that
the function takes no arguments. In C, however, it means that the
function takes an unspecified number of parameters.

What we did previously was therefore non-conforming. This caused a
config check to fail in the curl port, as it was able to redeclare
`rand` as taking an int parameter.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

You can watch videos of the system being developed on YouTube:
