I'm not sure which C language you're talking about here, but
I'll assume it's C89. In that language, in the absence of a
prototype, (and in K&R C), `int', `long', `double' and pointer
types are not promoted; but signed or unsigned `char', `short',
and `int' bit-fields are promoted; `float' is promoted.
