The "well written" remark is relevant.

Many style guides will consider implicit void conversions not well written C.

Naturally we are now on C23, and almost every C developer considers language extensions as being C, so whatever.

So using casts that hid implicit int declarations for years is "well written"?

I could not find a "Many" guide, Linux Kernel and ffmpeg seem to advocate against pointless casts.

So irrelevant to the creation time of ffmpeg and only applicable to intentionally non portable libraries.

Well written idiomatic C is certainly not valid C++.

Depends on the beholder, however it hardly matters on the days of C23, as mentioned.
