Hi all.

While compiling a program, I am getting some strange
conversion warnings - I have -Wconversion enabled
intentionally to catch unintended conversions.

The following short sample will demonstrate:

----------
void    f(float, char);

int main(void)
{
    float   x;
    char    c;

    x = 22.0 / 7.0;
    c = '*';
    
    f(x, c);
    return 1;

}
----------

When compiled, it gives the following output:

gcc -Wconversion -c test.c
test.c: In function `main':
test.c:11: warning: passing arg 1 of `f' as `float' rather than `double' due to prototype
test.c:11: warning: passing arg 2 of `f' with different width due to prototype

Any ideas?
