Terminal's output

Basically, when trying to printf a void function, it leads to an error. The
code to reproduce the error is:
-------
#include <stdio.h>

void add(int n);

int main()
{
    int p=5;
    printf("%d", add(p));
    return 0;
}

void add(int n)
{
    n++;
}
-------
I attach both the output of Clang in the terminal and the diagnostic of the
preprocessor, though you will probably be able to reproduce it.

GCC's output is as simple as:

file.c:8:2: error: invalid use of void expression.

I think there is nothing else hidden in the code. I'm not an experienced
programmer, so it is a simple error.
