declarations differ

[NanoGoner]

can someone tell me the difference between this declaration and the function useage:
void *cube_updater(void *); // in header file

cube_updater ( void *rs232_cube) // in main.c

The first one is a correct function declaration.
The second one shall not be compiled.

That is the difference.:)

EDIT: maybe in the second case the record should be

cube_updater ( ( void * )rs232_cube);

I changed the function usage to

cube_updater((void*)rs232_cube)

That resolved part of the problem, but the following error was left, the syntax of which I don't understand;

main.c LINE 92 error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘(’ token|

||=== Build finished: 1 errors, 1 warnings ===|

Line 92 reads:

cube_updater ( (void *)rs232_cube) // as modified per viad from moscow

I see that there is no semicolon after the statement. Also it is not clear whether the original code contained the function declaration or the function call as I thought.
