"prototypes don't work with floats" Could you expand upon this? "constants are sometimes coerced to char in the presence of prototypes" this too? It sounds like you may have K&R style functions w/ function prototypes. If this is the case, then you should read page 3-9 in the reference manual (that's in the Language Specification chapter). It talks about how prototypes and K&R/ANSI style functions interact.
