Ha ha, yes.
The first edition of The C Programming Language book by Kernighan & Ritchie (the book popularly called just K&R) used those definitions.
The second edition (the ANSI C one) used the latter kind of definition, the ANSI kind, with both function arguments and return values having (mandatory?) types.
I remember I used to religiously use the latter kind from as soon as the C compilers I used, supported them.
