> `bar` is not declared, in C89 this causes an implicit function declaration to be generated with the signature: `extern int ident();` What surprised me is that we seem to be generating something more like this instead: `__attribute__((m68k_rtd)) int ident();` despite that not being valid.
I understand what you meant, but the standard only says that using implicit declared identifier is as if `extern int ident();` appears in the source code. My interpretation is that in this case since the very source code is compiled with `-mrtd`, every functions use m68k_rtd rather than C calling convention. 

Another example is stdcall: i386 Clang emits a similar warning ("function with no prototype cannot use the stdcall calling convention") when `-mrtd` is used (to set default CC to stdcall) on the same snippet. Should `bar` was not called with stdcall under the influence of `-mrtd`, the aforementioned message would not be emitted in the first place.
i386 GCC also calls `bar` with stdcall when `-mrtd` is given (though no warning message is emitted).


================
Comment at: clang/test/Sema/m68k-mrtd.c:45
+extern void (*d)(int, ...);
+__attribute__((m68k_rtd)) extern void (*d)(int, ...);

Right now Clang only gives a warning about potential behavior change after C23, rather than an error for this kind of syntax. Because it seems like Clang doesn't check this situation against unsupported calling convention. I'm not sure if we should throw the same error as `__attribute__((m68k_rtd)) void foo()`.

> I'm also still wondering whether there's a way to use m68k with a Windows ABI triple (basically, do we need changes in MicrosoftMangle.cpp?)

I don't think it's worth it to support m68k with Windows ABI as this combination never existed (and unlikely to happen in the future)
