[ML] Standardise on not using explicit void argument lists (#34)

We've started mixing explicit void and empty argument lists. For C++ they are equivalent. If we 
needed C headers for any of our existing functionality we'd almost certainly have to provide a 
wrapper API anyway. Therefore, this change switches to empty argument lists on the grounds 
that it is less typing.
