The following code:

void func (float a);
void
func (float a)
{
}

int
main (void)
{
  func (3.0f);
  return 0;
}

Compiled with: gcc -Wconversion bug.c
produces:
bug.c: In function ‘main’:
bug.c:10: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘func’ as ‘float’ rather than ‘double’
due to prototype

I was not expecting this.

When looking at the code in c-typeck.c at line 2473.
I see:
                      /* Warn if any argument is passed as `float',
                         since without a prototype it would be `double'.  */
                      if (formal_prec == TYPE_PRECISION (float_type_node)
                          && type != dfloat32_type_node)

Should the dfloat32_type_node be changed into float_type_node?
When I change this no warning is produced anymore.
