   Believe me, I understand. A large part of the messages I post in this   
   forum are devoted to explaining to people the correct terminology, and   
   trying to convince them to use it, in order to avoid confusion. Some   
   people are very resistant to avoiding confusion - they seem to like it.

   Summarizing what I wrote before, there's exactly three unrelated ways   
   void is used:   
      
   void foo(int); // Declares that foo does not return any value.   
   int bar(void); // Declares that bar does not take any arguments   
      
   void *foobar;   
   // Declares that foobar points at an object of unspecified type.
