[sdcc-devel] Broken parmBytes

I'm going to try and track this down, but I though people might be
interested in the problem.  This code:

unsigned a;

void puts(char *s)
{
    a = sizeof(s);
    printf(s);
}

Generates
	a = 2
	hl = s
	push hl
	call printf
	pop l (ie parmBytes = 1 instead of 2)

But changing the printf line to include a redundent cast:
	printf((char *)s)
generates
	...
	push hl
	call printf
	pop hl (parmBytes = 2, which is correct)
