Can we call an undeclared function in C++?

Calling an undeclared function is poor style in C (See this) and illegal in C++. So is passing arguments to a function using a declaration that doesn’t list argument types:

If we save the below program in a .c file and compile it, it works without any error. But, if we save the same in a .cpp file, it doesn’t compile.

#include<stdio.h>

void f(); /* Argument list is not mentioned */

int main()
{
   f(2); /* Poor style in C, invalid in C++*/
   getchar();
   return 0;
}

void f(int x)
{ 
   printf("%d", x);
}
