I'm OK with this change on the basis that MIPS has been providing stronger
guarantees than required by the various standards. I.e. after this change
MIPS will have undefined behaviour for a mismatch in types between a
call to an un-prototyped function and its definition:
extern void foo();
void caller(int a)
{
foo(a);
}
--
void foo(short a)
{
// the value of 'a' can be out of range of a short because the caller
// did not get the right type for the argument.
}
Thanks,
Matthew
