    Compiling with gcc 16.1.0 gives the following warning and notes:
(horizontally compressed a bit te avoid excessive wrapping)


clauses.c: In function ‘recheck_cast_function_args.isra’:
clauses.c:5139:19: warning: ‘actual_arg_types’ may be used uninitialized

I'm inclined to write that off as "buggy early-version compiler".
That code is visibly okay, and no other compiler version has warned
about it.
