ISO/IEC 14882:1998(E) 8.3.5 (2) says: The parameter list (void) is equivalent to the empty parameter list. Is there any paper that shows that syntax (void) deprecated? I am asking about it because I'm trying to remove (void) syntax in Visual Studio's 2005 IDE Class View and Add Member Wizard. Is there any ideas how to remove it? P.S. As for me, It is really annoying.
