No, that's something else entirely (a "float" old-style parameter
declaration corresponds to a "double" argument in a prototype). It's
convert_arguments that handles converting to prototype types and default
argument promotions for arguments not covered by a prototype (including
those in the ... of a variadic function).
else if (TREE_CODE (TREE_TYPE (val)) == REAL_TYPE
&& (TYPE_PRECISION (TREE_TYPE (val))
< TYPE_PRECISION (double_type_node))
&& !DECIMAL_FLOAT_MODE_P (TYPE_MODE (TREE_TYPE (val))))
/* Convert `float' to `double'. */
argarray[parmnum] = convert (double_type_node, val);
