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

763 On a RISC architecture, a void parameterless generic dummy

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