Prototype problem

Hi,

I just came across a program that has started trimming off the end of the character strings it was supposed to produce.

I found this :

writeText ( gTxt1 + gTxt2 + gTxt3 );

gTxt1, gTxt2, and gTxt3 are all 80 characters. The procedure expects a 132 character parameter.

I believe we have discussed before some kind of automatic conversion of parameters with prototypes that sometimes takes place.

Could someone reexplain? It is easier to understand when it is actually happening.
How should this problem be avoided?

How can I fix it? There are loads of callers to the same procedure, often using the same manner of sticking fields together.
