Clang-16 changed -Wimplicit-function-declaration and -Wimplicit-int
warnings into errors, see:
https://releases.llvm.org/16.0.0/tools/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#potentially-breaking-changes.
The -Wimplicit-function-declaration and -Wimplicit-int warnings now default to an error in C99, C11, and C17. As of C2x, support for implicit function declarations and implicit int has been removed, and the warning options will have no effect. Specifying -Wimplicit-int in C89 mode will now issue warnings instead of being a noop.
