LLMs are mostly correct with regards to this stuff.

cdecl is always correct with regards to this stuff.

I don't know why you'd choose the former.

Because if you don't do things exactly the way cdecl wants you get a Syntax Error
Wouldn't any explanation given, apart from syntax error, be wrong in the case you provide it with an invalid syntax?
I was thinking of the issue of going from English to C. Even when you out in malformed C it's nice to get either a compiler error which explains the problem, or even better an LLM that can suggest how to fix it.
