Yes, it's true that it produces a lot of warnings (which is why it isn't
enabled by -Wall).
It might be possible to add a new warning for cases where the arguments are
"obviously" transposed.
For example, in my reduced version:
void ghhrobust_search (double ay, int type) { }
void f(int i, double d) { ghhrobust_search(i, d); }
Although both conversions are allowed by the language, the fact that swapping
the arguments would require no conversions could be used to detect cases that
might be accidental.
Confirming as an enhancement request for a new warning.
