ILE question

I have a C ile module with a function taking two char * (string) inputs.

I have a CL ile module that calls the C function erroneously passing in 3
parameters.

Both modules compile error free.  CRTPGM signals no errors or warnings
either.

There are no ill effects on the C function.  It seems to ignore the 3rd
parameter.

 

My question is, shouldn't the linker (CRTPGM) check the entire procedure
(function) signature including the parameters passed, not just the name?  

Or would that be the job of the CRTCLMOD compiler?

 

As I said, all works fine, but intuitively I would have expected either the
CL compiler or the CRTPGM linker to complain about parameter mismatch.  What
am I missing?

TIA
