That never existed. Syntactically it could work; you would need semicolons in there:

  int func(long_type_name a, b, c; int d);

similar to struct/enum member declarations.

Speaking of which: don't have long type names in C programs, and simplify API's with structs rather than large numbers of parameters. :)

It exists with K&R parameters:

    void foo(a,b,c)
    long_type_name a,b,c;
    {
    ...
    }

Sorry, I didn't mean that literally, I meant getting equivalent functionality. I'd be fine with semicolons, Renderman Shading Language uses that syntax.
