Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or build entry points; it only proposes enabling the -Wmissing-prototypes compiler warning for CPython. Start by locating the C build configuration and checking how compiler warnings are configured. Done means the warning is enabled without introducing unresolved diagnostics, with appropriate build validation.
