Did floating point type promotion and argument passing change from
Alpha to Beta?
The (Alpha) spec says that expressions involving floats produce float
results, and that floats are passed as floats, not double.
However,
float f() { return(2. + 3.); }
must be written as
float f() { return((float)(2. + 3.)); }
and
void f( float 2. )
must be called as
f( (float)2. );
