[Bug c/30916] New: Wrong ‘float’ rather than ‘double’ due to prototype warning

The following code:
void func (float a);
void
func (float a)
{
}
int
main (void)
{
func (3.0f);
return 0;
}
Compiled with: gcc -Wconversion bug.c
produces:
bug.c: In function ?main?:
bug.c:10: warning: passing argument 1 of ?func? as ?float? rather than ?double?
due to prototype
I was not expecting this.
When looking at the code in c-typeck.c at line 2473.
I see:
/* Warn if any argument is passed as `float',
since without a prototype it would be `double'. */
if (formal_prec == TYPE_PRECISION (float_type_node)
&& type != dfloat32_type_node)
Should the dfloat32_type_node be changed into float_type_node?
When I change this no warning is produced anymore.
