Not necessarily...you might have included some ancient version of
the PLIB header files...you might have done something ugly like:

   // Didn't feel like including the real headers
   // #include <plib/net.h>
   extern bool netInit ( float totally_the_wrong_parameter_type ) ;
   ....
   int main ()
   {
     bool x = netInit ( 3.14159 ) ;
     ...
   }

...there are all sorts of possibilities for the 'creative' programmer!
