Newer versions of gcc (I tested with gcc 16.2.1) treat conflicting types for function declarations as errors, so aliveRecord.c won't compile as is.

../aliveRecord.c:763:13: error: conflicting types for ‘init_record’; have ‘long int(void *, int)’
  763 | static long init_record(void *precord, int pass)
      |             ^~~~~~~~~~~
../aliveRecord.c:75:13: note: previous declaration of ‘init_record’ with type ‘long int(void)’
   75 | static long init_record();
      |             ^~~~~~~~~~~
../aliveRecord.c:915:13: error: conflicting types for ‘process’; have ‘long int(aliveRecord *)’
  915 | static long process(aliveRecord *prec)
      |             ^~~~~~~
../aliveRecord.c:76:13: note: previous declaration of ‘process’ with type ‘long int(void)’
   76 | static long process();
      |             ^~~~~~~
../aliveRecord.c:929:13: error: conflicting types for ‘special’; have ‘long int(DBADDR *, int)’ {aka ‘long int(dbAddr *, int)’}
  929 | static long special(DBADDR *paddr, int after)

This PR fixes it by filling in the correct function arguments in the forward declarations to init_record, process, and special. I also needed to explicity cast them to DEVSUPFUN in the rset aliveRSET = {... definition.

Fails on base 3.15. I guess it doesn't have DEVSUPFUN? Looks like the same problem as mentioned here: epics-modules/asyn#222. Maybe instead should be using typed dset? See epics-modules/calc#34.
