VAX C Doesn't care about prototypes.

[Brian Lambert]

Hi:
 
I am using VAX C (latest version, 3.something) and I ran into this weird problemthe other day.  As it turns out, the following code does not generate a 
compilation warning:

typedef struct { long foo; } A;
typedef struct { short foo, bar; } B;

void x(B *b);

main()  
{
    A a;
    B b; 
    x(&a); /* does not generate a warning */ 
    x(&b);
    ...

This same code generated a compiler warning using -W1 in MSC 6.0.  The manual
says that since the arguments are "assignment compatible" an automatic 
conversion is provided.  I don't want this - is there a way to disable this
less-than-useful functionality?  

Thanks,
