Bugs in GCC 2.2


I used GCC version 2.2 (for my own use only) for several
months, and discovered a problem when passing parameters
notably float parameters. Just look at the two following
small programs, they seems to be similiar, compile them,
run them, compare their result and drop me a line if I'm
wrong.


/* file f1.c */


void print_args(float, float, float);

main()
{
 print_args(1.0, 67.89, 3.141592654);
}

/* end of file f1.c */


/*file f2.c */

#ifdef NORM 

void print_args(float a, float b, float c)
{
 printf("a = %f  b = %f   c = %f\n", (double)a, (double)b, (double)c);
}

#else

void print_args(a, b, c)
float a, b, c; 
{
 printf("a = %f  b = %f   c = %f\n", (double)a, (double)b, (double)c);
}
#endif

/* end of file f2.c */


/*********** Now these are the two programs *******/

program 1: gcc -o prog1 f1.c f2.c
program 2: gcc -o prog2 -DNORM f1.c f2.c

Now run prog1 as result I've got "a = 0.007813  b = 50.123871   c = 0.000000"
but not "a = 1.0  b = 67.89  c = 3.141592654" expected.
prog2 give me the correct result.


Please give me answer if you can understand this.
