When the following code is compiled with G++ 1.35.0/Sun3, you
get the error message shown below which says that a float was
expected.  That's wrong.  A double was expected.  Apparently
the compiler doesn't know the difference.

----------------------------------------------------------------
// Check that type-mismatch messages are reasonable

int function (double d)
{
	return 0;
}

struct s {
} s_object;

int main ()
{
	function (s_object);
	return 0;
}
