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
56    callers must pass that argument as a `double'.  If you define the
57    function using the prototype syntax, then you must pass the
58    argument as a `float', with no promotion.
59 
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.
66 
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
71    trust the debug information; the user can override this behavior

495 	   need to push anything the stack and hence can leave SP and
496 	   FP.  Similarly, a frameless (possibly leaf) function does
497 	   not push anything on the stack and, hence, that too can
498 	   leave FP and SP unchanged.  As a consequence, a sequence of
499 	   void parameterless generic dummy frame calls to frameless
500 	   functions will create a sequence of effectively identical
501 	   frames (SP, FP and TOS and PC the same).  This, not
502 	   suprisingly, results in what appears to be a stack in an
503 	   infinite loop --- when GDB tries to find a generic dummy
504 	   frame on the internal dummy frame stack, it will always
505 	   find the first one.
506 
507 	   To avoid this problem, the code below always grows the
