Yep. Im pretty sure I remember void being in typesetter C also. IIRC the
differences between that version of Dennis’s compiler and what was included
in 7th Edition was mostly in the libraries ie stdio was first released as
part of the typesetter compiler but it was still a work in progress.

The BSD kernel looks as if it requires such a
later compiler (it uses
bit fields which the earlier compilers didn't support).
Umm, minor nit: bit fields were added to/as of 'Typesetter C', which I
gather was intermediate between V6 and V7.
