58 /* How you should pass arguments to a function depends on whether it
59 was defined in K&R style or prototype style. If you define a
60 function using the K&R syntax that takes a `float' argument, then
61 callers must pass that argument as a `double'. If you define the
62 function using the prototype syntax, then you must pass the
63 argument as a `float', with no promotion.
65 Unfortunately, on certain older platforms, the debug info doesn't
66 indicate reliably how each function was defined. A function type's
67 TYPE_PROTOTYPED flag may be clear, even if the function was defined
68 in prototype style. When calling a function whose TYPE_PROTOTYPED
69 flag is clear, GDB consults this flag to decide what to do.
71 For modern targets, it is proper to assume that, if the prototype
72 flag is clear, that can be trusted: `float' arguments should be
73 promoted to `double'. For some older targets, if the prototype
74 flag is clear, that doesn't tell us anything. The default is to
75 trust the debug information; the user can override this behavior
76 with "set coerce-float-to-double 0". */

766 On a RISC architecture, a void parameterless generic dummy

769 FP. Similarly, a frameless (possibly leaf) function does
770 not push anything on the stack and, hence, that too can
771 leave FP and SP unchanged. As a consequence, a sequence of
772 void parameterless generic dummy frame calls to frameless
773 functions will create a sequence of effectively identical
774 frames (SP, FP and TOS and PC the same). This, not
