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

794 On a RISC architecture, a void parameterless generic dummy

797 FP. Similarly, a frameless (possibly leaf) function does
798 not push anything on the stack and, hence, that too can
799 leave FP and SP unchanged. As a consequence, a sequence of
800 void parameterless generic dummy frame calls to frameless
801 functions will create a sequence of effectively identical
802 frames (SP, FP and TOS and PC the same). This, not
803 suprisingly, results in what appears to be a stack in an

805 frame on the internal dummy frame stack, it will always
