Both of these were in reponse to my original query which may not have been
specific enough.  Consider the following correct program:

check(x,y)
long x;
char *y;
{
printf("%10.10s ",y);
}
main()
{
check(10l,"testing");
}

If you now remove the l after the 10 in the procedure call the compiler
issues no relevant warnings and the program misbehaves.  Can Turbo-C 
generate a warning for this kind of error?
