            Bug ID: 112893
           Summary: gm2 fails to detect procedure address actual parameter
                    is incompatible with cardinal formal parameter
           Product: gcc
           Version: 14.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: modula2
          Assignee: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

gm2 silently compiles the following code:

MODULE proccard ;

FROM NumberIO IMPORT WriteCard ;
FROM StrIO IMPORT WriteString, WriteLn ;

PROCEDURE func () : CARDINAL ;
BEGIN
   RETURN 42
END func ;


BEGIN
   WriteString ('the value is: ') ; WriteCard (func, 5) ; WriteLn
END proccard.

whereas it should detect that func is the address of a procedure and this is
incompatible with the cardinal 1st parameter of WriteCard.
