    There is a difference between C / C++

    void fun() is treated as
    void fun(...) in C.

    Here ... stands for ellipse, which means variable list of arguments


    void fun() is treated as
    void fun(void) in C++.

    This means there is no real difference between void fun() and void fun(void) in C++.

    when you use function(void) your compiler automatically assumes that its arguments are "void". Not sure about C but its definately like that for C++.

    As far as I know, in C++, int func(void); and int func();
    are exactly the same. Explicitly stating void just makes your intentions clear that the function takes no arguments.
