Saber in ANSI mode doesn't seem to know about promotion of arguments
[e.g. when passing a 'short', it is actually passed as an integer,
and the prototype must say 'int' for the parameter.]
Here's a sample file exhibiting the problem:
int foofunc(int);
int
foofunc(val)
short val;
{
return val*2;
}
and saber's response:
"foo.c":5, foofunc(), Function redeclared (Warning #340)
4: foofunc(val)
* 5: short val;
6: {
Function 'foofunc' was previously declared as:
extern int foofunc(int);
(If you continue, the previous declaration will be ignored.)
