Looking at the code, I see old C style prototypes with C++ features.
Perhaps it work better when moving to more modern C style, like this:

  struct S { ~S(void); };
  void bar(void);
  void foo(void)
  {
    struct S s;
    bar();
  }

The original file return this when compiled with gcc 12.2.0:

  x.c:1:12: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘~’ token
      1 | struct S { ~S(); };
        |            ^
  x.c: In function ‘foo’:
  x.c:5:4: error: unknown type name ‘S’; use ‘struct’ keyword to refer to the type
      5 |    S s;
        |    ^
        |    struct 

The new edition still fail with gcc

  x.c:1:12: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘~’ token
      1 | struct S { ~S(void); };
        |            ^

but build just with with c++.

What exactly is the code trying to test?
