Yes. It's clearly undefined behavior to call a function through a
pointer to a different type, or to call a function with the wrong number
of arguments. I am pretty sure at least one compiler catches this.
Any C++ compiler will refuse to accept it.
C isn't really a strongly typed language and having to support archaic
non-prototyped function declarations makes thorough type checking
extremely difficult if not impossible.
