sparse silently accepts some peculiar combinations of declaration

These are all permitted by the syntax of C.

6.7 Declarations, the init-declarator-list is optional.

Not sure how many different bugs there are here, though...

Sparse might flag the usage as suspicious, but it is not a bug.

Several more:

The syntax permits:

signed unsigned short long double int;


int;
void;
int *;
void *;
static;
extern;
volatile;
static foo;
extern foo;
volatile foo;
int volatile;
