53 /* How you should pass arguments to a function depends on whether it
54 was defined in K&R style or prototype style. If you define a
55 function using the K&R syntax that takes a `float' argument, then

57 function using the prototype syntax, then you must pass the
58 argument as a `float', with no promotion.
60 Unfortunately, on certain older platforms, the debug info doesn't
61 indicate reliably how each function was defined. A function type's
62 TYPE_FLAG_PROTOTYPED flag may be clear, even if the function was
63 defined in prototype style. When calling a function whose
64 TYPE_FLAG_PROTOTYPED flag is clear, GDB consults this flag to
65 decide what to do.
67 For modern targets, it is proper to assume that, if the prototype
68 flag is clear, that can be trusted: `float' arguments should be
69 promoted to `double'. For some older targets, if the prototype
70 flag is clear, that doesn't tell us anything. The default is to
